This is a title page illustration for the first part of "Handelsmagazin for Island," a trade magazine for Iceland, created by Frederik Ludvig Bradt in 1787. The artwork features a symbolic composition with a central oval depicting a couple in Icelandic dress and a smaller scene of a ship on a coastline below. The top half of the design displays animals such as a stag, a sheep, and a bird, all within a circular frame with a radiating sunburst effect. This title page illustration is a fine example of decorative engraving used to highlight the magazine's content and the subject of Icelandic trade.
