Hond zoekt in de stam van een boom 1663

This is an engraving from 1663, the title page for "Le Berger extravagant, Pastorale burlesque" by Mr. Corneille. It features a simple yet evocative design, with a stylized tree and a dog searching for something in its trunk. The inscription "Suivant la Copie imprimée a Paris" tells us the engraving was made in Paris, France, and the year "C1663" confirms the date. This small but intricate artwork is a valuable historical artifact, revealing details about early printing and book design in 17th century France.
