This 17th-18th century anonymous etching, titled "Title Plate for -Diversi Animali-", showcases a camel carrying a banner that reads "Diversi Animali Fatti" (Diverse Animals Made). The artwork is an example of a title page illustration, likely for a book or collection of animal prints. The intricate detail of the camel and its load, along with the other figures in the background, reveals the artist's keen eye for naturalism. This small but captivating image captures the essence of the book's subject matter, inviting the viewer to explore the diversity of animal life depicted within.
