This anonymous 17th-century print, likely created between 1600 and 1675, is a title page for a series of twelve engravings depicting scenes of daily life. Measuring a mere 115 mm by 117 mm, it features a circular composition with intricate engravings of figures and symbols. The central text, “Schimata XII Mensium sius opera tionibus Cad sigrazo diaci applicatione, in quatuor anni partes divisa Merten De Vos Inuentor”, reveals that the series was designed by the renowned Flemish artist, Marten de Vos. The print’s delicate details and symbolic imagery are characteristic of the period and offer a fascinating glimpse into the visual culture of 17th-century Europe.
