"Ontwerp voor titelpagina voor Alle de werken van Adriaan de Kramer," is a 1736 etching by Jan Caspar Philips depicting a title page design for a book by Adriaan de Kramer. The design features an allegorical scene with several angels and figures representing different aspects of knowledge and creativity, with a blank scroll held up by an angel in the sky. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the 18th-century Dutch artistic tradition of incorporating religious symbolism into secular works, highlighting the importance of scholarship and artistic expression. The etching style of the design, with its fine lines and detailed shading, is characteristic of Philips’s work.
