This etching, *Essais de Gravûre: Livre Premier, Livre Second, Livre Troisieme*, is a print created by R. Lafage between 1703 and 1708. It depicts a title page for the work of French engraver Pierre Bourdon, who was known for his ornamentation and decorative work for goldsmiths. The design features two figures seated on either side of an oval frame with a putto holding up the frame at its base. The text within the oval informs the viewer of Bourdon's profession, his address, and the availability of his work for sale.
