The same cuts appeared in an edition issued at Lyons in 1517 by Sacon.The plaque depicts a scene from the "Aeneid," (IV, vv. 651-654). On the right Anchises is seated before a German half-timbered manor with overhanging bays. Aeneas points the way to safety to his family, Creüsa, Ascanius, and a maid. On the ground at the left, lie the corpse of Polites and the beheaded body of Priam. The city of Troy is ablaze in the background.
