BRUYN (ABRAHAM DE)
Footnotes
An attractively bound copy of a scarce equestrian work by one of the Flemish 'Little Masters'. The place of publication and year appear in the foreword.
The fine engravings (the first dated 1575 and some within ornate borders) include two additional series of plates not found in other copies traced, with 78 equestrian portraits as opposed to the usual 52. They are numbered 1-54, with a duplicate of plate 37 and the additional 23 interspersed as follows: 8A-D; 10E-F; 16G-K; 18L-O; 22P-R; 27S-X; 29Y; 30Z. The second additional series comprises 8 heraldic plates with blank spaces left for names or shields to be filled in.
