Ernstige en luimige gedichten - Lannoy, Juliana Cornelia de 1738-1782 (The Hague Fuhri, 1851)
Juliana de Lannoy was a respected female Dutch poet and writer in the second half of the 18th century. She wrote three tragedies as they were known to be a difficult genre and she wanted to prove not only men could write them.
On the first titlepage De Lannoy is referred to as a Baronnesse, which she was not. This edition dates from almost 70 years after her death.
Contains both an 'engraved' titlepage (actually a lithography?) and a typographical titlepage.
