This 1620 title vignette by Philips Serwouters, a Dutch engraver active in the 17th century, is a visual representation of a religious text. The vignette depicts figures walking on a path toward a gate. This scene symbolizes the path to salvation and the text below the image quotes a passage from the Bible, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." This artwork was created for the title page of the book "Den seeckeren wegh ter saligheyd" ("The Sure Way to Salvation"), written by Pierre Du Moulin, a French Reformed theologian. This example of a title vignette was a common practice in book printing during the 17th century.
