"Album met 17 betekende bladen met juwelen" is a book cover, created by Carl Friedrich Bärthel between c. 1800 and 1810. The cover features a marbled paper design in shades of brown and beige, with a swirling, almost organic pattern. Green ribbons are tied to the right side of the cover, suggesting this was a highly valued and likely private, rather than public, album. The cover's delicate design exemplifies the aesthetic sensibilities of the early 19th century.
