Schutblad en blad met opschrift van de tekenaar 1795

This 1795 artwork by S.G. Casten is a handwritten inscription in Dutch on paper. The inscription, likely taken from a book, reads "This book was begun in the month of March 1779" in ornate handwriting. Casten’s signature in cursive script and a date appear beneath the inscription, indicating a personal note or dedication. While lacking visual imagery, the inscription itself serves as a unique historical artifact.
