Titelpagina voor Hedendaagsche Historie, deel VII, 1735 1735

This 1735 engraving by Jan Caspar Philips, titled "Titelpagina voor Hedendaagsche Historie, deel VII," is a frontispiece for a historical book published by Isaac Tirion. The composition features four men surrounded by objects symbolizing the contents of the book. The background is a mountainous landscape, and there are several ships in the distance. The title page is typical of the engravings created for such works during this time. Philips was known for his precise, detailed style. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this small, yet informative, work of art.
