An elaborate allegorical engraving serves as the title page. A central female figure, personifying the Low Countries, stands atop a high stone pedestal. She wears a crown, holds a globe in her right hand, and a branch in her left. She is surrounded by several female figures in classical dress representing the various provinces; some hold heraldic shields featuring lions. At the base of the pedestal, two putti sit on the ground. The background features a wooded landscape on the left and classical stone architecture with an archway on the right.
