Zacharias Dolendo's Adam and Eve

I bought an old book on etching fairly recently, but neither the previous owner nor the secondhand bookseller had noticed that the small engraving of Adam and Eve, that had been used as a bookmark, was in fact a sixteenth century print by Zacharias Dolendo who was born in Leyden about the yuear 1560, I like the homely touch of little hound scratching his ear.
