This print shows a fancy border with swirling lines and tiny faces peeking out. In the center, a wreath holds a banner with French text. The edges look like they’re made of leaves and curls, all carved into the page. The text says this is a Bible—*The New Testament*—made by someone named Callot. The artist who drew this border, Abraham Bosse, signed it in 1635. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Bosse made prints like this.
