This is a black and white etching or engraving, depicting a scene with caricatured figures. On the left side, there is a humanoid figure with an exaggeratedly long, pointed nose and what appears to be donkey ears; it has a cloak or some sort of draped garment and is shown in profile, facing to the right. On the right side, there is a more grotesque figure with the body of a plucked chicken, human-like legs and arms, and the head of a bird with a large feathered headdress. This creature seems to be performing an animated dance or jump and has one hand extended upwards. In the background, there's a group of tiny, sketchily drawn figures who seem to be engaged in various activities and chasing one another; some appear to be on horseback. The setting suggests an open space with buildings visible at the horizon that look like a simplified representation of a town or cityscape. Below the figures, there are two inscriptions: "Smaralo cornuto" and "Ratsa di Boio.” These may denote the names of the characters, the scene, or phrases related to the content, possibly in an Italian dialect or an old form of Italian. This image likely has a specific satirical or symbolic meaning, potentially tied to historical or cultural contexts of the time it was created. The style is reminiscent of works from the 17th or 18th century, where such caricatures were common in socio-political commentary, but without more context, the exact meaning is not clear.

This image is a detailed black-and-white drawing that appears to be from an old illustration. It depicts two fantastical, anthropomorphic creatures in the foreground with many people and buildings in the background. The creature on the left is tall, wearing a long overcoat, and has an elongated beak-like mask with two long, curved horns extending from its head. It stands in a somewhat passive posture. The creature on the right is more muscular and dynamic, with its arms and legs spread wide as if in a dance or a vigorous action. It is also wearing a beak-like mask and has a long feather or plume extending from its head. In the background, there are many people engaged in activities, including some with similar masked and costumed appearances. There is also a structure that seems like a gallows, with figures surrounding it and interacting with it. The text at the bottom reads "Smaroolo cornuto." and "Ratsa di Boio," which might be the names of the figures or titles associated with the illustration. The entire scene has a surreal, carnival-like atmosphere, suggesting it may revolve around themes of disguise, festivity, or folklore.
