This 1809 title page, designed by Dutch artist Johannes Allart, is a striking example of graphic design. Its simple yet elegant layout emphasizes the text, highlighting the title "Platen en Kaarten Behorende tot het Geschiedkundig Verslag der Dijkbreuken en Overstroomingen". The typography is clear and easily readable, making it a practical and informative piece. This title page is significant as it introduces a series of prints and maps detailing the disastrous floods that ravaged South Holland and Gelderland in January 1809. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a compelling historical document.
