Histoire de l'entree de la reyne mere du roy tres-chrestien dans les Provinces Vnies des Pays-Bas : enrichie de planches
A 1639 London edition of Jean Puget de La Serre's account of Marie de Médicis's state entry into the Dutch Provinces, illustrated with etchings by Wenceslaus Hollar for an English and French readership. The plates show the queen's processions by water and land, with the Dutch towns she visited rendered in fine, even line. Designers can take from them the dense, crowded compositions of boats, harbours, and cavalcades, and the way ornate architecture and rigging are built from simple hatched lines.
