This 1676 title page from an anonymous Dutch book, “Tekstblad met een hert,” depicts a small circular emblem with a stag leaping over a wave, surrounded by the Latin words “VIT. HOC. NON. ME”, signifying the name of the book's publisher. The prominent title, “WOUTER SCHOUTENS OST-INDISCHE VOYAGIE,” indicates the book's subject as a travelogue of the East Indies. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
