About this work

This image is a black-and-white print of a man’s bust with a wreath of leaves on his head. Below the bust is a coat of arms and a block of Latin text. The paper looks old and yellowed, with uneven edges. The print is a title page for a book about Julius Caesar’s triumphs. It uses a mix of dark and light tones to create depth, which is typical of its technique. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
