H. C. Henneberg's "Initialer til Fabricius' Danmarks historie" (1854) is a finely detailed engraving that showcases the letter "F" intricately woven into the form of a bull. The image, while small in size, displays an impressive level of detail in its depiction of the animal. The use of a stylized letter within the form of an animal is a hallmark of decorative illustration, particularly prevalent in illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. The design of the artwork and its subject matter would have been highly familiar to audiences in the 19th century.
