This is a black and white engraving of an ornate heraldic design. The central element is a decorative cartouche or shield shape, with elaborate scrollwork and flourishes surrounding a blank space. Flanking the cartouche are two fantastical creatures: a griffin on the left and an eagle on the right. The griffin is depicted with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. It is in a dynamic pose, appearing to reach towards the cartouche. The eagle is standing on a small mound or landscape feature, with its beak open as if calling out. Above the cartouche is a crown, adding to the heraldic nature of the design. The entire composition is framed by a rectangular border. The number '22' is visible in the upper right corner, and the name 'Manelet' is written in a decorative script at the bottom center of the image. The style of the engraving suggests it is from a historical book or document, possibly related to heraldry or genealogy.
