Titelpagina voor: W. Bilderdijk, 'Winterbloemen', 1811 1811

This title page for "Winterbloemen" by Willem Bilderdijk, created in 1811, is a fine example of Dutch engraving. Reinier Vinkeles, a renowned engraver, depicts a figure playing a lyre, surrounded by clouds, symbolizing music and inspiration. The image, a work of art in itself, sets the stage for a collection of poetry by a prominent Dutch author. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a captivating example of the artistic collaboration between visual and literary spheres in the early 19th century.
