Reineke Fuchs—Title
All Resolutions
Description:
Illustrated title page of Reineke Fuchs (Reynard the Fox) showing monkeys playing the violin and blowing trumpets, the symbolic attributes of Art and the engraving craft, and a jester standing on one leg with an owl on one hand and a mirror facing the viewer in the other, while two foxes are trying to get his attention. A griffin sits looking away on either side of the page.
