Place and booksellers from engraved added title. It was originally engraved for Cornelis de Bie's Het gulden cabinet van de edel vry schilder const (Antwerp, 1661-2), by Cornelis Meyssens after Abraham van Diepenbeeck's drawing. Here it has been supplied with English title and imprint, but no date; RLIN reports an added engraved title for D. Brown [sic] and T. Brown [sic] as booksellers that includes date 1705 (NYPA record). The present work may have appeared between the edition of 1694 without engraved title, and 1705, when the added engraved title had acquired that date
Text by Sebastiano Resta. See Wing (2nd ed.), R1174 (referring to ed. of 1694)
First unnumbered plate is engraved title from Joannes Meyssens' Image de divers hommes d'esprit sublime (Antwerp, 1649), which comprised the plates numbered 23-121 in present work. Meyssens' plates were re-used by De Bie to illustrate his Gulden cabinet. See Bibliotheca Belgica I, p. 248
Second unnumbered plate is unsigned engraved allegory of Rome, which appeared previously in Het gulden cabinet. Third unnumbered plate is port. of Nicolaus Bruyant. It appeared in Image de divers hommes but not in Het gulden cabinet. Fourth unnumbered plate is port. of Adriaen Brouwer. It is apparently an unsigned engraved copy of that signed by Robert Smith in the 1694 ed. The legend "Aetat. 30 1594" has been changed to "Aetat. 30 1634"
Plates numbered 1-22 are signed by Théodore Galle, who copied them from ports. by Jan Wierix and Hieronymus Cock that appeared in Dominicus Lampsonius' Pictorum aliquot celebrium Germaniae inferioris effigies (Antwerp, 1572). Galle issued them under title: Illustrium quos Belgium habuit pictorum effigies (Antwerp, s.n.). Plates 1-22 still show Lampsonius' laudatory Latin epigrams at foot, and some show Wierix' initials I.H.W. See Bibliotheca Belgica III, p. 666
Plates in present work are after paintings and drawings by various artists (e.g. van Dyck). Many engraved by Galle, Wenceslas Hollar, Pieter de Jode II and Joannes Meyssens. Smaller numbers engraved by Pieter de Bailliu, Frederik Bouttats, Philibert Bouttats, Cornelis van Caukercken, Joseph Antoine Cochet, Richard Collin, Antony van der Does, Coenrad Lauwers, Pieter van Lisebetten, Arnold Loemans, Jacobus Neeffs, Paulus Pontius, Gilles Rucholle, Carel van Savoy, Robert Smith, Hendrik Snyers, Franciscus van der Steen, Alexander Voet, Lucas Vorsterman II, Coenrad Waumans
