This is the title page for a 1689 book entitled “De Lydsaamheid en het Gelove der Heiligen” by Aert Pietersz., a Dutch artist active in the late 16th century. The work is a title page and is set in a rectangular frame. It includes a textual component, a Hebrew inscription at the top, followed by the title in large font, and a descriptive text in smaller font, and a visual element, which features a trumpet and an escutcheon with three fleur de lis on one side and a crescent moon on the other. The title page is a visual introduction to the book's content, and it is likely that the trumpet symbolizes the book's message of religious fervor and the escutcheon is a symbol of the faith of the book's target audience.
