Title Page is a 1613 ink by Theodor Galle, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white engraving framed like a grand doorway. Two winged figures stand on either side, holding scrolls and looking upward. Above them, a dove floats near a sunburst shape. The center text reads in Latin about "Icons of the Prophets of the Old Testament." The figures look like angels, and the dove often stands for the Holy Spirit. The whole scene is packed with careful lines and shading. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
