This title page for *Vorstelycke Treur-Gevallen*, the second volume of *Het toneel der ongevallen* (*The Stage of Mishaps*), was designed by Dutch artist Arnold Houbraken in 1699. It features an engraved depiction of a basket of flowers, an allegorical symbol for the book's contents. Houbraken was a well-known artist and engraver of his time, and this title page exemplifies his skill in creating detailed and expressive images. It was created for the work of L.V. Bosch, and provides information about its contents, including the fact that it is the second volume of a larger work. The design is typical of title pages from the late 17th century, using ornate typography and decorative elements to draw the viewer's attention.
