Titelpagina voor: 'De Waereld', 1786 1786

This engraving, "Titelpagina voor: 'De Waereld'," created by Reinier Vinkeles in 1786, depicts a scene from the Bible in which Adam and Eve are expelled from the Garden of Eden. The detailed, yet delicate, linework of the engraving is typical of the late 18th-century Dutch printmaking style. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as the title page for "De Waereld," a collection of stories and poems related to the creation and fall of man.
