In the winter of 1590, the Dutch printer and engraver Hendrick Goltzius approaches the Margrave of Alsace at Colmar for funds to set up a printing press to make and publish illustrated books. He proposes that the first two books manufactured by this new printing press should be dedicated to the Margrave and his court. Goltizus believes that the first should be an illustrated Old Testament featuring six tales of an erotic nature and the second should be an illustrated Metamorphosis of Ovid featuring the infidelities of Jupiter. To tempt the Margrave further, Goltzius and his printing company offer to perform dramatizations of these erotic stories for the Margrave's court.
