An ornate woodcut architectural border frames the central title text. The design is structured like a classical monument or portal. At the top, a semi-circular pediment contains a central crowned grotesque mask surrounded by scrolling floral motifs. Two flaming oil lamps stand on pedestals at the upper corners of the structure. The title text is set within a central archway flanked by two square pillars, which are decorated with vertical bands of candelabra-style foliage and flowers. The entire structure rests on a tiered base, featuring a central frieze depicting sea monsters and stylized wave patterns.
