This woodcut, created by Isaac Vincentsz. van der Vinne around the 17th or 18th century, features a detailed depiction of Mont Saint-Michel, a significant religious and architectural landmark in Normandy, France. The image is framed by a ribbon with the inscription "LA MONT S. MICHEL" in cursive, and a crest of Haarlem with a sword and stars, a recurring element in the artist's work. The artwork likely served as a trade label or emblem for the artist's workshop, bearing his monogram "HVW", signifying the "Handelsetiket" or commercial label. The artistic style and composition, typical of the era, showcases intricate detail and a focus on the historical and cultural relevance of the subject matter, making it a fascinating example of graphic art from this period.
