About this work

This print shows a man in a long, fur-lined coat and wide-brimmed hat, holding a cane. Behind him, a small cart pulled by a donkey carries a box with a person inside. The text above reads like a book title: *"The Second Part of Vox Populi"* with claims about someone named Gondomar’s "treacherous practices." The man’s stern expression and the donkey cart suggest this is a political attack print, likely mocking a powerful figure. The tiny details—like the box and the donkey—hint at hidden schemes or secrets. Look up engraving to see how artists like this used sharp lines to spread ideas.
