This is the title page of a book by Abraham Bosse, a prominent French engraver and draughtsman of the 17th century, titled "Les Vierges Folles Et Les Vierges Sages". This title translates to "The Foolish Virgins and the Wise Virgins," a reference to the parable of the same name from the New Testament. The book likely includes engravings by Bosse, who was known for his intricate and detailed style, which often depicted scenes from the Bible and classical literature.
