This image is a sheet of small engravings arranged in three columns. Each box shows a different scene with people in dramatic poses—some kneeling, others gesturing toward the sky or holding objects like books or crosses. The lines are precise, and the shading is made by tiny parallel lines, giving a textured look. At the center is a portrait of a man in a ruff collar, surrounded by decorative borders. The title at the top reads *Devotionis Augustinianae Flamma*, and the text mentions it was printed in London in 1637. Each small image is labeled as a "Meditation" for a specific saint’s day or biblical event, like Palm Sunday or Good Friday. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create depth with lines.
