The plate below appears in Peter Rollos’ Vita Corneliana, published in Berlin in 1624 (dated copy in Berlin ….)

The motif, entitled Viel wunder im Weinfaß, is found in the album of Hans Heintze, which I have not seen, and though it must therefore just pre-date the print-book (dated entries 1619-22), it is described as looking exactly like the above engraving, though in the cloud of phatasmagoria issuing from the barrel a fool’s cap is evidently included, which is not present in the 1624 print-book, but is in a later version of the motif engraved in the Alemodisch Stambuch of c.1640:

Earlier still, Adam Szczepaniec describes a miniature dated 1580 in the album of Adam von Gruttschreiber as “a barrel out if which wine is pouring, filling a glass, with the caption reading: Viel wunder im weinfasse” [in Polish Libraries 9 (2021), 24-78].

Certainly dependent on the Vita Corneliana plate, however, is this engraved lidded glass goblet [Deckelpokal] in the collection of the St Annen museum in Lübeck, the title, Viel wunder im Weinfass, just visible at the base of the bowl:

Grillen

Paul Vandenbroeck* showed that Grillen was the most popular term for what I have called above ‘phantasmagoria’, the tiny images and grotesques populating the cloud issuing from the wine-barrel or drunkard’s head. A generation earlier than the Vita Corneliana, in his Emblemata Saecularia (1596) de Bry had engraved a similar cloud of Grillen distilled from the head of a young gallant, and Rollos was undoubtedly familiar with the motif as published there.
