XLVIII Oorboor gheen straf 1614

"XLVIII Oorboor gheen straf," a 1614 engraving by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher, is a part of a larger series of engravings titled *Sinnepoppen* (Sense-dolls). The image depicts a flax-breaking device, a tool used to separate the fibers from the flax plant. The engraving is likely part of a larger book or collection of prints, reflecting Visscher’s interest in the practical and philosophical aspects of everyday life. The image’s simple composition and detailed illustration of the flax-breaking device offer viewers a glimpse into the agricultural practices of the 17th century.
