This print showcases the title page of "Observations in the Art of English Poesie" by Thomas Campion, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. Published in 1602, this book holds immense significance as it challenges the prevailing practice of rhyming in poetry and advocates for rhymeless verse inspired by classical quantitative verse.
