About this work

This print shows a big shield with lions and a crown at the top. Below it, four men stand in boxes, each holding a flag or a spear. The middle man is shirtless and holds a banner. The words say "Angleterre, qui est le XI. Livre de l'Europe." The lions on the shield look fierce. The text at the bottom names a printer in Amsterdam. Check out how this was made using engraving.
