Omslag med slynget lænkeronament med dyr til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn" 1834

Martinus Rørbye's "Omslag med slynget lænkeronament med dyr til "Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn"" (1834) is a detailed pen and ink drawing. The intricate design frames a blank space that would have been used to print the title page of a children's book. The elaborate border features an array of animals, including a rooster, a horse, a deer, a pig, a fox, a cat, and a swan, interwoven with whimsical, serpentine vines and flowers. Rørbye's detailed portrayal of the animals and the decorative flourishes speaks to the style of the Romantic period.
