Titelblad: Differents Conpartimens et Chapiteaux 1657 - 1685

This anonymous engraved title page from 1657 to 1685 is a fine example of Baroque ornamentation. The image features a grotesque face in the top center, with the title "DIFERENTS CONPARTIMENTS" and the date "M.DC.XIX" in an oval cartouche, adorned with ornate, scroll-like forms. The intricate details and use of light and shadow create a sense of movement and dynamism, characteristic of the Baroque style. The image is a visual representation of the title's subject, compartments and capitals suitable for the use of sculptors, painters, engravers, and masons.
