Titelblad med vignet til S. Richardson: "Miss Clarissa Harlowes Historie", femte del 1783

This title page vignette for Samuel Richardson's "Clarissa Harlowe's History" was created by the Danish artist Georg Christian Schule in 1783. The engraving depicts a scene from the novel, likely between the characters Clarissa and Lovelace. This vignette is an example of a popular art form in the 18th century - the use of illustrations to embellish literary texts. It is part of a larger collection of works by Schule, which are currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The vignette's small size and detailed composition showcase Schule's skill as a draughtsman and engraver. This artwork serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Denmark, particularly in the field of book illustration.
