A restrike of an engraving created for Academie de l'Espée, the treatise of Girard Thibault d’Anvers.
This print was engraved by Crispijn de Passe some time after 1612, printed in a subsequent edition after the 1630 (perhaps the 1668), and then painted by an unknown artist.
It’s unknown whether it was cut out of a fully-painted bound book, removed from an unbound, or if a printing of just the illustrations was executed.
Purchased from Lucille Lucas Gallery. Further provenance not available.
