contents: This print shows at the top right a man, probably a clergyman, leaning out of the window, who admonishes some young people to be virtuous. He holds a book pressed against him and it is clear that he is in a room full of books. The print has a moralistic aim: the wisdom and wide reading of the man is the opposite of the folly and frivolity of youth.
