This title page for a 1670 book by Baltes Boekholt is a fine example of Dutch printmaking. The simple design features an ornate decorative element, a five-pointed star, and the title of the book, " 't Leeven en Bedrijf van den Doorsleepen Bedrieger." It is typical of its time, a period when printing was a burgeoning art form, and the title page was a crucial component of the overall design. The title and design suggest a book about deceit and possibly the life of a con artist, potentially a sensationalist piece of literature popular in the 17th century.
