Titel met wapen van Amsterdam 1657

"Titel met wapen van Amsterdam" (1657), a small-scale engraving by Cornelis van Dalen I (1602-1665), displays the coat of arms of Amsterdam. It's a title page for a collection of works by the Dutch poet Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft (1581-1647). The design features a prominent depiction of the Amsterdam coat of arms, with two lions holding a shield bearing the city's symbol: three red crosses. This engraving, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the artistry of van Dalen I and offers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch culture and design.
