Derde eeuw 1667 - 1672

"Derde eeuw" is an anonymous 17th-century print depicting a "tree" with the limbs of a serpent, symbolizing the "Third Century". Each branch of the tree represents a decade and is populated by a variety of people and symbols, each representing a different aspect of history. The numbered branches provide a visual timeline from 10 to 100. The work likely served as a pedagogical tool for teaching historical events. This print, at 155 mm in height and 110 mm in width, is a small but intricate example of 17th-century illustration and historical visualization.
