About this work

This is a black-and-white print with a fancy frame. At the top, two winged kids hold up a crown with a book on it. Below them, swirly lines and strange shapes fill the space. The words are old-fashioned and hard to read, but they say "1624" at the bottom. The print looks like it’s from a book called *Bizzarie*. The artist’s name is tucked in there too, but it’s not easy to spot. Want to see more like this? Check out etching.
