Letter N in een omlijsting met een wolf of een hond 17th century

This 17th-century woodcut depicts a stylized letter N in a decorative frame. The frame features intricate floral patterns and a wolf or dog positioned within the negative space of the letter. The image showcases a common practice in early printing of combining letters with decorative elements, often with animal motifs, to enhance the visual appeal of texts. This small-scale print, measuring just 50 mm in height and 49 mm in width, serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of anonymous printmakers during this period.
