An original page created for Academie de l'Espée, the treatise of Girard Thibault d’Anvers.
This print was engraved by Johann Gelle before 1625, printed in the Elzevier workshop in Leiden between 1626 and 1630, and then painted by an unknown artist some time in the 17th century.
It was apparently cut out of a bound book by a later book-breaker.
Purchased from George Glazer Gallery. Further provenance not available.
