Title Page for Vox Populi Eoricum, by Thomas Scott is a 1624 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
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.
Crispijn van de Passe I (1564–1637) was an artist, born in Arnemuiden.
