| Production | The attribution to Sang is based on the spelling of IJ as Y and the accent over the U. See Smit, .. Jacob Sang (1992); Anna Laméris (2-4-94) thinks this must be Sang, although type-face is rather large the glass and the engraving (incl. text) are very comparable to a signed piece in the Amsterdams Historisch Museum, dated 1776.
