Titelpagina voor: J. d'Outrein, De ziels-opheffing, 1702-1703 1701 - 1703

This 1701-1703 title page by Dutch artist Arnold Houbraken, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Baroque typography. The bold, large font and ornate floral embellishment are characteristic of this period and style. The design features the title of the work, the author, and printing information in a symmetrical composition. The title, "De Ziels-Opheffing," translates to "The Elevation of the Soul," hinting at the religious context of the book. This piece, while small in size, is significant for its role in showcasing the decorative and illustrative potential of typography in the Baroque era.
