Titelpagina voor: Krauss, J.C. 'Afbeeldingen der fraaiste, meest uitheemsche boomen en heesters', 1802 1802

This title page, created by Dutch engraver Reinier Vinkeles in 1802, is an illustration for a book on exotic trees and shrubs published by J.C. Krauss. The page depicts a small, idyllic scene of a thatched hut in a tropical landscape, framed by text in Dutch describing the book’s contents. The image serves as a visual introduction to the text, hinting at the beauty and utility of the exotic plants discussed within the book. It is a fine example of decorative engraving popular in the early 19th century and is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
