This etching by Jan l'Admiral, created in 1764, depicts three prominent figures from the history of printing: Laurens Jansz. Coster, Hugo van der Goes and Albrecht Dürer. The three men are depicted in profile, with Coster on the left holding a drawing of Dürer, which includes a feather quill resting on the drawing. L'Admiral is known for his intricate engravings, and this work exemplifies his skill in capturing detail and conveying a sense of historical weight. The piece would have appealed to audiences interested in the history of printing and the lives of these notable figures.
