Print, engraving, backed with hessian, Landscape with shepherds herding sheep by Jean Leblond (c.1590/1594 - 1666. Pastoral landscape scene of shepherds marshalling a flock, by 'le Blond excud avec Privilege'. These 17th century engravings are not in good condition but stable and at some time have been housed in loose leaf book which has left holes with rusted edges. Whether the hessian backing was applied as a repair/strengthening or as a backing possibly for applying to walls direct (print room style) is not clear.
