"Lam op het boek met de zeven zegels" is a title page designed by Philippus Velijn for the first edition of the "Rooms-Katholijk Jaarboek voor het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden," published in Breda, 1835. The central design depicts an all-seeing eye floating above a book, symbolizing the importance of faith in the Catholic Church. This design is framed by two large, rectangular shapes representing the importance of the institution of the church. This detailed engraving exemplifies the high standards of printing in the Netherlands at the time, with delicate lines and a graceful composition.
