This image shows a black-and-white woodcut of two fierce creatures facing each other. One looks like a dragon with wings and sharp claws, while the other has a crown and a sword, almost like a knight or a king. They’re framed by a thick black border, and the background is plain white paper. The text below is in old-style handwriting, naming someone called Wilhelm von Zell. This kind of print was used to mark books as belonging to a specific person back then. If you like this style, check out the technique: woodcut.
