This etching, titled "Titelblad: Ornamenti di Fregi," was created before 1678 by the German artist Franz Ertinger. It depicts two figures holding a large clam shell with a title page inscription, "Ornamenti di Fregi." The image is set against a seascape with birds flying above. This artwork likely functioned as a title page for a larger publication. The use of etching as a medium, and the subject matter of ornamental designs, were popular in the 17th century.
