"Voorrede tot de Sinnepoppen" is a title page by Roemer Visscher, dated 1614, that can be found in the Rijksmuseum. This piece, printed in Dutch, serves as an introduction to the concept of "Sinnepoppen" or "Sense Dolls," which are personifications of abstract concepts. The image itself showcases a decorative capital letter "G," designed with intricate details and floral motifs, which was a common practice during the period. These title pages, a cornerstone of Dutch Golden Age printing, are rich in symbolism and visual richness.
