This title page engraving by Reinier Vinkeles (1741-1816) was created for the 1793 Dutch translation of Edward Young's *Night Thoughts*.

The engraving features two allegorical figures, one pointing towards a celestial object, symbolizing the pursuit of fame. Vinkeles was known for his detailed and elegant engravings, and this piece is characteristic of his style. It is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
