This title page for a book of prints by H. Spilman and C. V. Noorde is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch graphic design. Published by Jan Bosch in Haarlem, the page features a simple layout with elegant typography. The central image, a picturesque view of a waterfall, symbolizes the beauty of the landscapes depicted in the book. The Latin inscription "Hae Litterarum Cunae" (This Cradle of Letters) emphasizes the importance of printing and bookmaking in Haarlem. This title page, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of Dutch art and culture during the Enlightenment.
