A 1673 Antwerp book of engraved reproductions of Italian paintings, published by the widow of Abraham Teniers and compiled by David Teniers the Younger from the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, made for art collectors and connoisseurs. The plates are black-and-white line engravings, many printed sideways on the page, showing groups of figures in dramatic poses with dense hatching that a designer could study for tonal modelling and crowd composition.
