This title page for the book "Het Leven van Willem George Fredrik" (The Life of William George Frederick), created by Daniël Vrijdag in 1802, is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch typography and engraving. The title is displayed in a decorative, flowing script, while the image, an oval vignette, depicts a scene from the life of William George Frederick, likely his tomb or a monument to his memory. This vignette would have been a common feature in books of this period, serving as a visual introduction to the subject and adding a touch of artistry to the page. The inclusion of the printer's mark and date further emphasizes the significance of the artwork, marking it as a testament to the Dutch printing tradition of the era.
