A man stands beside two cattle in this engraved frontispiece, with a thatched barn behind them, a pairing that puts the working life of the farm at the center of the scene. Frontispieces like this one were placed opposite a book's title page, so the image was meant to set the tone for the text that followed, often with a rural subject signaling agricultural writing or practical husbandry. Engravings of this kind were cut into metal plates and printed in fine detail, which lets modern viewers study the tools, the thatch and the animals' build with some precision. The record does not name the artist or the book, so the scene is best read as a general picture of English-style farm life of the period.
