Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Marguerite of Navarre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Hinchliff's engraving of Marguerite of Navarre, from an 1864 English edition of her Heptaméron.
Reason
A major enlightenment literary and historical figure deserves a featured picture. This Victorian steel engraving is stunningly detailed - would you believe the original is no bigger than an index card? - and serves as an attractive introduction to her. Would you believe I found this book in the bargain bin at a charity shop for £2?

Creator
"Hinchliff". I can find no further information on him (probably not her, given the date)
