Engraving of a seated two-headed creature on a ledge beside an inkwell, quill, and bowl, with a draped curtain behind.

A cat born with two heads, engraving after Jacques de Sève

An engraving of a seated creature with a strange, two-faced head, perched on a stone ledge beside an inkwell with a quill, a covered bowl, and a draped curtain. Fine black line work gives the scene a formal, cabinet-print quality typical of 18th-century natural curiosities.
