description

Summary

This engraving presents a draughtsman drawing a gigantic statue of the demigod Hercules. Beverland also had a copy of this impressive print in his private collection. However, he did not keep it intact. As he was wont to do with many of his prints, he took a pair of scissors to it. He cut out Hercules’ penis and incorporated it in a homemade erotic collage.
