A 1694 Dutch devotional book, the Spiegel om wel te sterven by the Recollect friar David de la Vigne, published in Amsterdam by Johannes Stichter for the dying and those attending them. Its engravings by Romeyn de Hooghe show deathbed scenes with angels, clouds, and religious paintings hung on the walls, rendered in dense black-and-white line work that a designer could take as a model for dramatic chiaroscuro, crowded interiors, and framed devotional imagery.
