The Siege of La Rochelle: Plate 9

Jacques Callot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, thin, rectangular piece of aged paper with a list of text in French. The paper has a white background with dark gray borders on either side of the list and a decorative border at the bottom. The title at the top reads "ANNOTATIONS DES LIEV X LES PLUS REMARQUABLES DE LA ROCHELLE" in capital letters. Below the title, there are two columns of numbered text, with 43 numbered items on the left and an equal number on the right. The text is written in black ink and appears to be handwritten. At the bottom of the page, there is a drawing of two curved horns with a pointed object between them, resting on a flat surface. The number "8" is printed in the bottom-left corner. The overall appearance suggests an antique or historical document, likely from the 17th century.
