This picture book contains facsimiles of woodcuts, copper plates, etchings [etc.] by German, French, Dutch and other artists, illustrative of the history and customs of the 16th to 18th century. No text. Reprint of the 1882-90 ed. published in Munich by Knorr & Hirth, with captions in the original French and German; the publisher has added an English translation of Hirth's introduction. Ongoing scholarship in the graphic arts has led to some alterations to Hirth's original attributions. Part of a six-volume set.
