Title Page for Devotionis Augustinianae Flamma, by William Austin is a 1637 ink by George Glover, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a sheet of small engravings. Each box shows people in dramatic scenes—some kneeling, some praying, others holding crosses. The lines are sharp and dark, filling every inch with tiny details. Faces look serious, and the whole thing feels busy and full of meaning. The center has a portrait of a man with a big beard and fancy clothes. Text around it says this was made in 1637 for a book of religious thoughts. The artist signed it but didn’t draw it—he etched the metal plate first. Want to know more? Try looking up engraving.
