About this work

This image is a black and white etching of a castle, with a large moon shining down on it. The castle is surrounded by a body of water, and there are several trees and bushes in the foreground. To the right of the castle scene is a smaller image that appears to be a bookplate or ex-libris. The bookplate features a banner with the word "EXLIBRIS" written on it, as well as some other text that is difficult to read. There are also some illustrations of various objects, including a ship and a musical instrument. If you're interested in learning more about the Romanticism movement, you might want to explore the works of Buhot, Félix-Hilaire.
