Two engravings on fine laid paper and margins as published backed with separate support sheets.

See also Frederick Bloemaert’s engraving of Plate 33 (note that Roethlisberger’s copy is numbered “25”)

Condition: strong and well-inked impressions with margins and laid upon a support of archival (millennium quality) washi paper. Both sheets show signs of handling (i.e. minor stains) and plate 33 has a dark mark on the right margin.
