"Title Page" is a pen and ink drawing by Lydia Bates, created in 1784. The artwork depicts a church building and features a dedication to M.T. Daniell, possibly an instructor or mentor of the artist. The inscription on the rock in the foreground, "In gratitude for his instructions in the ARTS. These Etchings are subscribed by his humble Servant Lydia Bates," suggests that the artwork was likely a title page for a collection of etchings.
