Documents classés de l'art dans les Pays-Bas du Xe au XVIIIe siècle / J.J. van Ysendijck 1886 - 1887

This 1886-1887 title page designed by Joseph Maes, a Belgian artist, displays an elaborate decorative border, a large initial "D," and a central framed inscription with ornate embellishments. The inscription reads "Documents classés de l'art dans les Pays-Bas du Xe au XVIIIe siècle," which translates to "Classified documents of art in the Netherlands from the 10th to the 18th century." The title page demonstrates the use of decorative elements in historical documents, as well as the meticulous details of the artist's work.
