| Notes: | Krul is named as publisher in the privilege (p. [16] (1st group)). For publication history, cf. Bemmel, II, p. 210-211, where J. Schipper is named as probable printer.
Signatures: *⁴-2*⁴ A-2C⁶ 2D⁴ a-2h⁶, ²A-G⁶ H⁴.
Cancels on leaves 2e2-2e3, correcting misprinted signatures.
Numerous errors in paging. Cf. Landwehr; Bemmel.
Illustrations: 93 prints : engraving, etching ; full-page (1) and plate mark 12 x 14 cm. or smaller. Except for added t.p., all are restrikes (some reworked) of prints in earlier editions of Krul's works, the plates to which Krul had evidently acquired. For discussion and table, cf. Bemmel, II, p. 403ff; p. 501-506, no. 288-379. (This copy without Bemmel's nos. 288a and 348a, inserted in some copies; Bemmel's no. 368 here on leaf 2a2v; his no. 373 (restrike of no. 46) here on leaf ²C3r, with apparently an unrecorded restrike of no. 54 on leaf ²B4r.) None is signed; various artists and engravers have been credited, especially G. Donck (cf. Praz and earlier eds. of Landwehr; cf. also Thieme-Becker, IX, p. 435, and Hollstein, F.H.W. Dutch and Flemish, V, p. 265, both erroneously recording a signed plate in this work; for correction, see Bemmel, v. 2, p. 435) and S. Savery (cf. Hollstein, XXIV, p. 85-91; for corrections, see Bemmel, II, p. 434, 437-438). Etching on leaf A6r (Bemmel 289) was formerly attributed to Rembrandt; attribution refuted in: Biörklund, G. Rembrandt's etchings, true and false (BB Rej. 7 (3rd state)) and Hollstein (X, B108; III, p. 32, no. 18 (3rd state)), where it is ascribed to F. Bol.
Title page vignette (coat of arms of Amsterdam); numerous woodcut initials and 4 tailpieces.
