About The Poster: This Italian engraving from the private collection of Giorgio Balbi depict a female figure among flowers with the words "E Dio creò l'Uomo", which means  "And God created man". With her back turned and her arms raised in the direction of the sunlight, surrounded by lush vegetation, this scene is reminiscent of Eve in Eden.

About Ex Libris: An Ex Libris, also known as a bookplate, is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Bookplates often bear a motif relating to the book's owner, such as a coat-of-arms, crest, badge, motto, or a design commissioned from an artist or designer. (Source: Wikipedia)
