Title Page to the Bible is a 1690 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a detailed title page for a book. Tall columns frame a grand design at the top, where a crown and crossed keys sit above an open book. Below, bold text reads *The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New*. The page is framed like a building, with small cherubs and ornate borders. The text says it was printed in London by royal printers. The year at the bottom, *MDCXC*, means 1690. This was meant to look fancy for church use. Next, look up engraving to see how artists carved these sharp lines.
