Frontispiece, Fauna Svecica by Carl Linnaeus, 1746
An engraved frontispiece shows a crowned female figure rising from a fluted classical pedestal, holding a sun-like disc in one hand and a wreath-like object in the other. A stag stands at right, a bird and a small animal sit near the base, and a radiating sun burst fills the clouds above.
