[Collection of plates from ''Les Vrais Pourtraits de quelques unes des plus grandes dames de la Chrestiente, desguisees en Bergeres''.]
[Crispijn van de Passe the younger.]
[Amsterdam: Joost Broersz for the author, n.d., c.1640.]
19th century scrapbook, half morocco gilt with marbled boards, all edges gilt, containing an etched titlepage and 51 engraved portraits (of 72) plus one unrelated engraving. Title trimmed to plate, portraits trimmed, losing inscriptions, lacking accompanying text.
A collection of portrait of 17th century women, mostly dressed as shepherdesses. The 'Vrais Poutraits' was issued in four parts: I & II contained 'les Damoiselles Nobles & Dames de Qualité'; III 'les Pourtraits des Femmes et Filles d'honorable Marchants'; & IV 'Le Choeur des Muses, avec leur Chansons a l'honneur des vertueuses Femmes et Filles'. The portraits were engraved in pairs on 36 plates; the titles (here excised) gave no clues to the identities of the sitters, which had to be guessed from the accompanying letterpress verse. Crispijn van de Passe the younger (1594-1670).
