Traître
from The Grand Etteilla, printed c. 1875-1899, to Etteilla's design of 1788
A monk in a brown habit lifts a lantern high at a doorway, glancing back over his shoulder. Upright and reversed Traître. Etteilla read the Hermit's lamp not as wisdom but as a light held for someone it should not be; the hooded friar became a traitor.
