An exquisite 17th-century engraved title page from Cornelius Schrevelius's famed Lexicon Manuale Graeco-Latinum et Latino-Graecum, published by Johannis Nicolai Gerlachi in Dresden and Leipzig. This stunning allegorical frontispiece features classical imagery: a seated female figure representing wisdom or scholarship holds a key and compass, flanked by open books and a rooster, an ancient symbol of learning, while cherubs unfurl a title banner above. Elegantly signed in pen by an early owner, this rare bibliographic artifact is professionally matted and framed by The Art Shop, ready for display. The engraving is both a celebration of classical erudition and a work of art in its own right, ideal for collectors of early printed material, decorative arts, or academic history.
