This is a black-and-white print with a wavy border full of swirling lines. Inside the border, there’s a circle holding text in French. The words say something about war and mention two names: Jacques Callot and Israel Henriet. At the bottom, it says "A Paris" and the year 1636. The text is the title page for Callot’s *The Small Miseries of War*, but this print was made by another artist. The swirling lines around the edges look like smoke or fire, adding drama to the design. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
