This 1834 illustration by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848) is the cover design for *Halvhundrede Fabler for Børn* (Fifty Fables for Children). The intricate, ornate border features an assortment of animals including a stag, a swan, a fox, and a bull. The design, created using a pen and ink, features an open book with the text of a fable framing the animals. Rørbye's distinctive style is evident in the detailed depictions of the animals and the delicate rendering of the frame, making this an exquisite example of 19th-century Danish illustrative art.
