This 17th-century anonymous print depicts a heraldic shield with a crowned lion, surrounded by the inscription "Voor t Gemeene Land" (for the common land). The circular seal is likely a historical emblem or stamp used in the Netherlands, referencing a community's shared governance. The graphic style of the print reflects the visual conventions of engraving common in the era, using fine lines and hatching to create tonal variations. The inscription and the visual elements of the seal are likely to have had a political and symbolic purpose.
