Victor Adam's "Un an de la vie d'un jeune homme: Histoire véritable en 17 Chapitres, Ecrits par lui-même et Lithographiés par Victor Adam" (A Year in the Life of a Young Man: A True Story in 17 Chapters, Written by Himself and Lithographed by Victor Adam) from 1824 is the title page for a book of lithographs by the artist. This title page is a fine example of the French Romantic style popular in the 19th century, characterized by its use of elaborate and decorative typography. Adam's work is known for its precision and detail. This title page, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Adam's masterful command of the lithographic medium.
