A Dutch-language set of biographies of Netherlandish painters by Jacob Campo Weyerman, issued in The Hague from 1729 for collectors, connoisseurs and the art trade, with engraved plates by later hands dated 1768-69. The plates are small etched landscape vignettes—travellers on sandy roads, cattle, anglers, a ruined tower, a windmill—each set inside an asymmetric rococo cartouche of scrolls and foliage that can be lifted as a ready-made frame.
