Getting started with the collection:
Title Page Design for Agnes Block’s Florilegia
Philip Tidemann (mentioned on object), c. 1690 - c. 1700
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.
