This title page for a book by Ludolph Smids, entitled "Oranjes Overtogt naar Engeland," was designed by Dutch engraver Carel Allard in 1689. The design is a fine example of Dutch Baroque typographic style. Allard's design is a simple yet elegant layout using bold, serif typefaces to highlight the title and author's name. The text is well-spaced to emphasize key information. The ornate flourish in the center of the page adds visual interest and connects the book's content to its historical context. This piece is currently located at the Rijksmuseum.
