This 1803 print by an anonymous artist is a title page for "Kunst-Gallery of Amsterdam," a Dutch art journal, and a prime example of printed ephemera. The detailed text lists the latest exhibitions, artists, and acquisitions of the time, highlighting the artistic climate of Amsterdam during the early 19th century. The print features simple engravings, including one of two women seated on a bench, and another of a woman standing with a book. These modest illustrations add visual interest while keeping the focus on the text and the vital information it delivers.
