This 17th-century title page by Cornelis van Dalen I for a Dutch translation of the Roman historian Tacitus's *Annals* features a bold, ornate typeface and a decorative border. It was designed to attract buyers and to give prominence to the work's publisher, Ioost Hartgersz, the Amsterdam book dealer. The text highlights the translation's completeness and the inclusion of notes to further enhance the reader's understanding. This artwork is a prime example of printed title pages from the Golden Age of Dutch printing.
