This image shows a page from a book, likely an old or historical text given its appearance and font style. At the top of the page, it reads "60 FABLES NOUVELLES," followed by a decorative line and then "FABLE DIXNEUVIEME." which suggests that this is the 60th entry in a collection of new fables and specifically the nineteenth fable within this entry. Below this header is an etching or illustration, with the caption "L'Avare & Minos." The illustration depicts a classical scene with figures that appear to be from ancient mythology or a fable. On the right side stands a figure cloaked in robes, identified as Minos, who may represent the mythological king who became a judge of the dead in the underworld. To the left is a dramatic scene featuring a personified figure of death, pointing a spear toward a person half-submerged in water, who is desperately reaching out toward a floating money bag. This scene likely illustrates a moral or cautionary tale about avarice, showing Death coming for the miser ("l'avare") who is still focused on wealth even in the face of mortality. The overall style and subject matter of the illustration suggest it is rooted in moral storytelling, typical of the fable genre. The paper shows signs of age, such as discoloration and slightly worn edges, which adds to the historical character of the image. The caption indicates that the illustration was engraved by an artist with the initials "C. N.," and the page number "13" appears at the top right corner, indicating its place within the book.

The image shows the title page of a book or collection called "60 Fables Nouvelles" (meaning "60 New Fables" in French). It specifies this is the 19th fable titled "L'Avare & Minos" (The Miser and Minos). Below the title is an engraved illustration depicting a mythological scene. It shows some small figures amidst a rocky, hellish landscape. One figure appears to be ferrying another across a dark, watery expanse, likely representing the river Styx in the underworld of Greek mythology. Minos was a king and judge of the dead in Greek mythology, so the illustration is depicting the miser character encountering Minos in the underworld after death. The aged paper and engraved, intaglio style of the illustration suggest this is from an 18th century publication of fables, possibly by a French author given the language of the title. The detailed, fine-lined engraving effectively conveys an ominous, fantastical atmosphere to accompany the fable.
