Historical Illustration of a Medieval Bishop with Crosier and Mitre #175836 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing portrays a medieval bishop in full pontifical vestments, including a richly decorated cope, alb, and mitre topped with a cross. He holds a crozier (pastoral staff) inscribed with “IHS,” a Christogram symbolizing Jesus, reflecting his spiritual leadership and sacramental role. The fine hatching technique suggests an engraving or woodcut reproduction from a historical religious text.
