This is an image of a page from an old book or manuscript. The top of the page features the text "FABLES NOUVELLES, FABLE TREIZIÈME." which translates from French to "NEW FABLES, THIRTEENTH FABLE." Below the title is an etching or engraving that depicts a scene with several figures. The main focus is on what seems to be two men, one in front of the other, in a wooded area. The first man appears to be gesturing towards the second man or to something in the distance. They are dressed in what look like classical or mythological garments. On the right side of the etching, there is a flying figure that looks like Mercury (Hermes in Greek mythology) based on the presence of a caduceus (a staff with two serpents entwined around it, which is an attribute of Mercury) and what might be interpreted as winged heels. Below the etching, we can read "Mercure et les Ombres," which means "Mercury and the Shadows," possibly indicating the title of the particular fable illustrated by the etching. The style of the artwork suggests that it is possibly from the 17th or 18th century, typical of the engravings used to illustrate literary works or fables from that era.

The image is a page from an old book titled "Fables Nouvelles." Specifically, it depicts Fable Thirteen, labeled as "Fable Treiziesme." The page number is 110. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Mercure & les Ombres," which translates to "Mercury and the Shades" in English. The illustration in the center of the page shows the mythological figure Mercury, identifiable by his winged helmet and the caduceus (a staff with two snakes wrapped around it) in his hand. Mercury appears to be leaping or flying, with a dynamic posture. In the background, there are several ghostly figures or shades, depicted with less detail, standing amidst a shadowy forest or grove. The artwork is signed at the bottom left as "Gillot Invt. & fec.," indicating the artist's name, likely Claude Gillot, and suggesting that he both designed and engraved the image. In summary, the page presents an illustration and title of a fable involving Mercury and shades from classical mythology, framed within the context of a collected book of fables.

This is an illustration from "Fables Nouvelles" (New Fables), specifically Fable Thirteenth (Treizième), titled "Mercure & les Ombres" (Mercury and the Shadows). The image is an engraving showing Mercury, the Roman god, flying through the air holding his caduceus (his signature staff with two intertwined snakes). In the scene below, there appear to be shadowy figures or spirits in a dark, atmospheric setting. The artwork has the classic style of an 18th-century book illustration, with detailed cross-hatching and dramatic contrast between light and dark areas. The artist's signature "Gillot inv. & fec." is visible at the bottom of the engraving, indicating that Claude Gillot both designed and executed the work.

The image is a page from an old book, likely a French book due to the language used. The title at the top reads "Fables Nouvelles, Fable Treiziesme" in French, which translates to "New Fables, Thirty-Fifth Fable." Below the title is a black-and-white illustration of a scene depicting a man and a woman, possibly a couple, with a figure in the background. The illustration appears to be a woodcut or engraving, given its detailed yet somewhat rough texture. At the bottom of the page, the text "Mercure et les Ombres" is written in French, which translates to "Mercury and the Shadows." This suggests that the fable being illustrated is related to the mythological figure of Mercury and the concept of shadows or darkness. The overall design of the page, including the font style and the illustration, gives it an antique and somewhat mystical feel. The use of French language and the reference to ancient mythology further emphasize the historical and cultural significance of the image.

The image depicts a page from an old book, featuring a black-and-white illustration of a scene with multiple figures.
