This etching belongs to The Large Miseries of War (Les Grandes Misères de la guerre), the 1633 series by the French printmaker Jacques Callot. Drawing on the devastation he witnessed when armies overran his native Lorraine during the Thirty Years' War, Callot laid out the whole grim cycle of soldiering — recruitment, plunder, punishment and ruin — in eighteen unflinching plates often called the first true anti-war art.

Shipping took a lot longer than the estimate on the page. The linework in The Large Miseries of War is decent without ever being crisp. It has earned its spot without earning much else.
It has completely changed how the reading nook feels. I have told half my family about this shop.
The colors are richer in person than they look on a screen. The smallest marks in The Large Miseries of War are still visible, which is the entire point.
