1690ABC_45674Amsterdam 1690. Joachim Bormeester An engraved print with extensive engraved texts in Dutch the central scene 33.5 x 31 cm flanked by 6 smaller scenes with the title above the central scene in roman capitals with I and V for UJ and U 5 lines of verse a couplet in 1 line followed by a 4-line verse below each smaller scene and the story in prose in the foot of the engraving. Hand-coloured and highlighted in gold. Oblong 1mo full sheet broadside 41 x 50.5 cm. A very rare print presenting an episode in the life of Charles the Bold le Téméraire; Carel de Stoute; 1433-1477 the fourth Duke of Burgundy from the House of Valois who also ruled large parts of the Northern Netherlands and Zeeland. The smaller scenes three on each side illustrate the various events in the story. The caption under each small scene first gives a couplet in one line in roman style lettering that offers wise moral advice related to the scene. It is followed by four lines of verse in italic applying it more specifically to the event in the story. Six columns of italic text in the foot of the plate tell the whole story in prose. The stories used for the two similar prints appeared in Cornelius Aurelius Die chronyk van Hollandt Leiden 1517 known as the Divisiekroniek so this one may also come from that source but we have not found it.The plate appears to be somewhat worn so probably a late impression of an older plate. Trimmed to the platemark. Browned. Manuscript annotations in ink at the lower right corner.l Cf.
