A multi-volume general history of the Netherlands from earliest times, begun by Johannes Pieter Arend in 1840 and continued by Otto van Rees, W. G. Brill and Johan van Vloten, issued in Dutch for a general reading public. The plates are steel-engraved oval bust portraits of seventeenth-century regents and statesmen in ruffs and fur-trimmed gowns, each set above a stone plinth bearing an engraved name and a quartered coat of arms with helm, mantling and supporters, giving designers ready-made framed portrait medallions and heraldic cartouches.
