This title page, created by Georg Christian Schule in 1783, features a vignette depicting a scene from Samuel Richardson's "Clarissa Harlowe". The vignette is framed by a wreath of leaves and set within a circular frame, highlighting the importance of this literary work. The title page design reflects the popular genre of sentimental novels, which emphasized emotional engagement and moral instruction. This artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, serves as a testament to the lasting influence of Richardson's novel and the visual culture of 18th-century Denmark.
