About this work

This print shows a black-and-white design with lots of swirling lines and shapes. At the center is a circle with a scene of people and animals inside it. Around the edges are tall, narrow panels filled with more decorative patterns, like vines and scrolls. The top has a small building with two figures on it. The name "Theodorus de bry f." is written at the bottom, which means this was made by Theodor de Bry. His work often mixed detailed drawings with stories.
