Summary
Print, engraving backed with hessian with black border, Pastoral scene with classical ruin (after G. Perrette) by Jean Leblond (c.1590/1594 - 1666). Drawn by 'G. Perrette in fe and 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.
