Note
This is a PRELIMINARY RECORD. It may contain incorrect information. Please email catalog@folger.edu for assistance.
Comprises 76 engravings by de Bie, including title page with armorial border, 6 genealogical tables, 60 portraits, 14 views on 7 plates, etc. The last 9 plates, which are before letters, are presumably the portraits listed in Bibliotheca belgica as 68-75, 76?
The first impression was printed privately about 1612 after the death of de Bie's patron, Charles, duc de Croy. The text was apparently never issued and the portraits were not completed. Pl. 68-75, which have ms. captions in some copies, but not in this one, were issued with pl. 1-67 early in the 18th century on paper with a "tête de Polichinelle" watermark. This copy has on most leaves a pot of flowers with fleur-delis at top.
Binding of half tan calf and speckled paper boards.
