A Spanish folklore anthology compiled by several authors and published in Seville in 1884, collecting popular Spanish traditions and games for a general readership interested in regional customs. The single picture is a plain line engraving of a serpent with a patterned, scaled body coiled in a loose S-curve across a tan ground, with a shaded vertical edge at right; a designer could take its clean hatched scale texture and sinuous silhouette as a model for ornament or a simple emblem.
