This picture shows bugs and plants drawn in black lines. A big beetle sits on a branch. Snails, spiders, and butterflies hang around too. The paper is old and has a few words written in fancy letters. This is a detailed drawing from a book. The artist made it by scratching lines into metal, then pressing ink into those lines. Try looking up engraving to see how this works.
