This print shows soldiers in an armory. The scene feels serious but quiet. Underneath is a Latin phrase about weapons resting as signs of peace. The text mixes Latin with French and Italian. It’s like a puzzle for the viewer. It’s a rare print with words built right in. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more Burnacini prints.
