About this work

This image shows a piece of paper with fancy black text written in a flowing, old-style hand. The words are arranged in neat lines, filling most of the page. The paper looks slightly yellowed, like it’s been around for a while. The text is in Italian and mentions a play about Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus fleeing to Egypt. It’s signed by someone named Domenico Tiepolo, who made this design. If you’re curious about how this kind of drawing was made, look up etching.
