Title Page 

Conrad Meyer created this undated title page using etching and engraving techniques. Meyer was active during a period marked by significant religious and political upheaval, including the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War. The print presents a vision of judgement day, divided into the blessed and the damned, while angels unfurl a banner citing Matthew 25:34. The text emphasizes compassion and charity, "I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink." This scripture resonates deeply in a time of widespread famine and social disparity. Meyer's work is a stark reminder of the religious and social anxieties of the 17th century. It underscores the period's emphasis on charitable acts as a means to salvation. The engraving serves as a call to empathy and action.
