Title Page Design for Agnes Block’s Florilegia

Not every drawn title page was intended to be issued in print. This sketch is a design for a much more precisely worked out drawing meant to serve as a title page for an album of drawings of flowers and plants by various artists. The collector of these drawings, Agnes Block (1629-1704), had at least four such albums, for which Philip Tideman drew befitting title pages.
