This engraving by Dutch artist Hendrik Altmann, created between 1830 and 1863, depicts a keystone from the house of the Spiegel family in Rotterdam. The inscription above the image reads: "anuodnj-milld-cea-yryby-tria die mentis leptebris obut-ben-vie-dud sobes de Huentione cauore hinus ecclesiae orate pro.co," which translates to "in the year of our Lord, 1330, died a man of great goodness and piety, a man who was devoted to the church. Pray for him." Below the image, it notes that this keystone is located in front of the Spiegel house. The engraving is 190 mm high and 110 mm wide, and showcases the meticulous detail and craftsmanship typical of Altmann's work.
