label: Description
content: Page with two plates printed next to one another. The left plate is a title page, with the text printed in the center of an architectural structure. Above the title is a carved oval rondel with a winged angel holding a horn and a wreath. This rondel is flanked by trophies and has a skull mascaron at the top. Below the title text is a tomb ornamented with egg and dart and acanthus leaf decoration. The plate at the right represents a large tomb, inscribed at the front with the letters "DOM," and adorned with putti draped under cloth and a large vase capped with a pinecone finial. Both plates are numbered but only the plate on the right features Oppenord's signature.
