Title from item.
From a plate serving as an illustration for James Salgado's Symbiōsis, or, The intimate converse of Pope and Devil attended by a cardinal and buffoon (London : Printed by T. Snowden, 1681).
Mounted as item 28 into an album of collected prints, broadsides, drawings, and miscellaneous single sheet items, assembled by former owner Joseph Ames and entitled "Emblematical and satirical prints on persons and professions" (PML 145850).
Library's copy appears to be the cropped portion or half of a larger plate.
Fool and card'nal joyn
Satirical print shows a reversible head of a cardinal and a fool, set in a circular medallion border with Latin text; with verse in Latin above the head of the cardinal and English verse above the head of the fool, reading "The Fool and Card'nal joyn; and well they may / Both make the World their scene and all a play. / No shew i'th' Fair without a lay Buffoon. / So without Cardinal no Pope at Rome".
