- Curator's comments
- This is the second edition of a reversed copy after a print engraved by Pieter van der Heyden after Bruegel and published by Hieronymus Cock in 1563. Though Pieter van der Heyden's monogram appears on this plate as well, Lebeer suggests that it has been put there wrongly. Bastelaer suggests that the style of the engraving resembles that of the Galle family and that this plate might be the work of Philips Galle.
