Arghibald Graaf Van Argyl. Heer van Kinlire, van Campbel, van Lorne &. Erfsherif en Governeur Vande Provincen van Argyl, en Turben, en Erfrechter en Generael Der Geseyde Provintien der Westersche en Andre Eylanden.
Adriano Haelwegh Fecit.
[n.d., c.1680.]
Etching, sheet 342 x 251mm. Trimmed into plate and glued to album page at corners.
Archibald Campbell, ninth Earl of Argyll (c. 1629 - 1685), Earl from 1663 following the restoration of the title two years after his father, the Marquess of Argyll, was executed for treason. Although he shared few of his father's political convictions, displaying little enthusiasm for the Covenants, he too was destined to be executed. A confederate of James Duke of Monmouth, for refusing to subscribe to the Test Act, was found guilty of High Treason in 1681 and sentenced to death. He escaped from Edinburgh castle under the disguise of a page, holding up the train of Lady Sophia Lindsay, his step daughter. He left the country but four years later was taken in a abortive attempt to invade Scotland and beheaded. A fine impression, with inscription set into decorative cartouche, by Adrian Haelwegh, Dutch printmaker (c.1637 - 1702). He worked in Amsterdam, primarily on portraits and book illustrations. Apparently in Italy in 1660s.
BM: pg.67, 2.

Maria ab Etruria Cosmi Primi Magni Ducis Etruriae Filia Alphonso II. Duci Ferrariae Desponsata.
Adriano Halluech. Sculp: (after Agnolo Bronzino)
[n.d. 1741.]
'Regiae familiae Mediceorum etruriae principum effigies' is the source for this engraving by Adrian Halluech [Adrian Haelwegh] working in Italy in the 1660's. The 'Regiae Familiae' used 54 engravings by Halluech and was published in Florence 1741. Agnolo Bronzino painted the sitter when 11years old. Marie de Medici (1540-1557) was engaged to Alfonso II, Duke of Ferrara, but died at the age of seventeen, before the marriage could take place. She was educated with her brothers and was among the brightest of the children. When her brother Francesco didn't understand his Greek lesson, his tutors called on Maria to explain it to him. Maria kept herself somewhat aloof from her younger brothers and sisters. She grew into an elegant, highly educated, and decorous young woman. Accurate accounts indicate that Maria's cause of death was probably malaria. She died in Livorno. Her father Cosimo I mourned for her deeply and kept her portrait in his bedroom until he died. Her sister Lucrezia di Cosimo de Medici later married Alfonso.
