- Curator's comments
- Series of 47 etchings according to De Vesme/Massar, although 16 of these were never seen in any print collection by them and are listed only quoting from Jombert. BM lacks another two in the series. It should be noted that two series were made by Stefano della Bella in c. 1646, both with the same title.
