This title page for the *Koninglyke Almanach*, created in 1706 by Dutch artist Carel Allard (1648-1709), displays a bold, decorative font typical of the period. The bilingual text, in Dutch and French, underscores the international scope of the almanac, likely intended for an elite audience interested in European affairs. The title page, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the aesthetic sensibilities of early 18th century print culture, showcasing the artistry of both the text and its design.
