About this work

This image shows a title page for a Bible. On the left is a robed figure labeled "Moses" holding a long staff. On the right is another figure labeled "Aaron," also in robes and a turban. Above them is a coat of arms with a crown and Latin words. The page advertises a new Bible translation with notes, printed in 1693. The bottom features a detailed cityscape labeled "London," showing ships, buildings, and a busy river. Look up engraving to see how artists create intricate images like this.
