This title page, created by Adriaen Lommelin between 1630 and 1677, features a central blank space for a title, surrounded by figures representing the conversion of pagan kings to Christianity. The design features a triangular frame, symbolizing the Trinity, radiating light and signifying divine power. The scene is set in a fantastical landscape with angels, bishops, and kings, embodying the narrative of Christian missionary work. The engraving, now at the Rijksmuseum, captures the drama of this historical event and serves as a powerful visual representation of the spread of faith.
