This title page for the second part of the 1676-1689 book *Omstooting der christelyke zeden* (*Overturning of Christian Morals*) by Cornelis Dusart is a prime example of 17th century Dutch book design. Featuring both Dutch and French text, it showcases the multilingual context of the time and alludes to a critique of the Catholic Church, as is evident in the title. The design of the title page, anonymous and possibly intended to be printed in black ink on a single sheet, likely followed standard conventions, incorporating the book's title and details about its contents, author and publisher. *Omstooting der christelyke zeden* is a key resource for understanding the cultural and religious tensions of the period in the Netherlands.
