Omslag met serie landschappen 1838

This is the title page of a series of landscapes, "Gelderse Landschap Studien" ("Gelderland Landscape Studies") by Matthias Parré, a Dutch artist working in the 19th century. The title page is a study of calligraphy in itself, with the title and artist's name in elaborate script, highlighting the skill of the artist in drawing. The text tells us that the landscapes were drawn from nature, and the title page itself is a beautiful example of 19th-century Dutch printing.
