Woodcut of a Standing Man Reading Beside a Woman, Lancaster 1779

A crude relief woodcut on paper shows a standing man in a long coat reading an open sheet beside a woman in a flowing gown, with a ship and a horse in the landscape. A winged figure blows a trumpet through clouds; the banner reads "Des Landes Vater" and the imprint is dated 1779.
