Manuscript Cutting from the Grande Chroniques de France
Vertical, aged manuscript page with dark brown discoloration and frayed edges. A long, thin, red vertical line runs along left margin with a small circular inscription at bottom. A circular cutout near the top contains a medieval-style illustration depicting people in brown, blue, and green hues. The majority of the page is filled with black text, written in a language that appears to be Old French, in a formal script. The background of the image is a plain, off-white color.
