A large library full of tall bookshelves, with two gentlemen observing in the foreground. In front of one set of bookcases, there are mounted skeletons of what I think is supposed to be some kind of hominid holding a spear, a knight on horseback, and a deer with antlers.

Early 18th century engraving of the library at the University of Altdorf. I am glad we've moved away from the practice of keeping skeletons on display; in addition to being deeply unsettling they sure seem to be blocking access to that range of books.
