This is a black-and-white engraving of a book’s title page. Two tall figures stand on either side, dressed in flowing robes and wide-brimmed hats. Between them, a coat of arms sits above the text, which reads *Le Voyage du Prince Don Fernande, Infant d’Espagne, Cardinal*. Swirling decorative lines frame the whole scene. The text hints this is about a nobleman’s journey, but the figures’ faces are blurred. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, which was tricky for engravings at the time. Try looking up engraving to see how artists carved these detailed images.
