Print
A horizontally oriented print in dense black-inked fine lines depicts a cluttered workshop where people with light skin tones labor. On our left, a person sits at a flaming hearth. In the center, an older woman shakes an empty pouch while a figure uses bellows. To our right, a man gestures toward a large open book. In the upper right, figures walk toward a building labeled 'HOSPITAL.' Latin text spans the bottom margin.
