The allusion in this to cuadros and pinturas refers to a custom, not officially recognized, by which exuberant pietistic malignity supplemented the sanbenitos with portraits and pictures bearing the names of the sufferers.

This somewhat notorious work was burnt by order of the Parlement in 1788. Its author was Jérome-Charlemagne Fleuriau and it ran through six editions between 1785 and 1803.
