• According to Brunet, these 4 parts with title were issued with the Abus du mariage, 1641, thus probably completing the 5 parts (part 5 sometimes counted as two) credited to some copies containing 120 portraits.

The plates, all unsigned, are attributed to Crispijn van de Passe, the younger. The Passe, or Pas, family produced much work well known in England and France as well as Holland.
