Object history | This print is taken from 'The Exercise of Armes for Calivres, Muskettes, and Pikes [Wapenhandelinghe van Roers, Musquetten ende Spiessen]' (103, from a set of 117), with 6 pages of text in English (incomplete), first published in three series in The Hague, 1607. Bound in parchment. Eight other plates are in the Department of Prints and Drawings, E.5422-5429-1958, of which E.5427 supplements the present volume (Pl.16 from the third series). A more complete set, with the title in Dutch, dated 1607, and pages of text in French, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum Library. The carved wooden frieze in the Great Chamber at Godinton Park Kent, and the series of paintings at Clifton Hall, Nottinghamshire, appear to be based on the engravings by J. de Gheyn, and are discussed and illustrated by Christopher Hussey on p.1602, Vol.132, 20 December 1962 and p.176, Vol.133, 24 January 1963, of Country Life. |
