"Titelvignet," an engraving by Daniël Vrijdag, depicts a classical temple with a pediment decorated with a map. The image, likely meant as a title page illustration, uses the architectural style of the classical era to evoke a sense of grandeur and authority, making it suitable for a historical or literary work. The engraving, dated 1802, is a fine example of the Neoclassical style prevalent in the 18th and 19th centuries. The artist's name is included in the bottom right corner, along with "J. Smies, del", indicating a collaborative effort between the artist and the engraver.
