The artist hasn’t listed its size yet, so pinch to scale it once it’s on your wall.

A densely printed Latin text page headed “Andreas Cratander Lectori,” set in an early modern roman typeface with a decorative initial letter and tightly justified lines. The aged paper, irregular ink density, and compact marginal spacing convey the physical character of a historical book, while the prominent reference to Hippocrates places the passage within the scholarly tradition of Renaissance medicine.
