| Inscriptions |
English: Flemish inscription below, which translates: "Look son, I have long known that the big fish eat the small. This engraving is signed in the lower left corner with the name Hieronymus Bosch, who had died in 1516. The print's publisher, Hieronymus Cock, was probably responsible for replacing Bruegel's name with that of the more famous and salable Bosch, who had, not coincidentally, a major influence on Bruegel. |
