Bladzijde met uitgeversmerk, 1712 1712

This small woodcut, created in 1712 by an anonymous artist, showcases a publisher's mark. It features a stylized eagle with its wings outstretched, surrounded by a decorative frame adorned with the Latin inscription "VIVS SV PERFELLICANVS." This type of graphic design was common for book publishers in the 18th century. It served as a form of branding, distinguishing the printed works of one publisher from another. The detailed engraving and use of Latin further enhances the artistic and intellectual quality of the piece.
