Engraving of two men mowing grain with scythes among trees, with a cart on a distant road and a lion in an ornate border.

Twelve Months: July, Harvest Reapers with Scythes

An engraved harvest scene within an ornate border: in the foreground a bare-chested reaper bends to swing a scythe through standing grain, while a second mower stands behind him among tall trees. Distant figures and a cart travel along a road toward a town, and a lion lies in the cartouche at top.
