This is the cover of a book, likely "Acta Regia," a collection of royal portraits and title pages from the 1720s. The brown leather cover is worn and faded, suggesting a well-used volume. The artist, Michiel van der Gucht, was a Dutch engraver who is known for his detailed and expressive work. His work often featured portraits of prominent figures, making him a sought-after artist for such publications. While the specific contents of this volume are unknown, "Acta Regia" would have been a fascinating record of the royal families of the time.
