content: Title page for a series of six designs for hunting trophies. The title is lettered within a rococo cartouche decorated with shell and foliate scrolling motifs, within a landscape with a tree behind it to the left. A speer and large net are draped over the cartouche with the head and paws of a dead boar hanging over the top, with a bird’s wing along the right side. Below the cartouche, on the ground, is a dead rabbit and bird. A dog to the right, looking at the dead animals and a standing monkey holding a large gun to the left of the cartouche. The monkey is wearing a purse with interlaced L’s. The plate is numbered and signed.
