Note

Added engraved title page, with title and imprint: Histoire de lentree de la reine mere du roy tres chrestien dans les Prouinces Vnies des Pais Bas. A Londre : Imprime par Iean Raworth, pour George Thomason, et Octauian Pullen, au Cimetiere S. Paul, a la Rose.
Illustrations: 4 full-page engravings (added allegorical title page, with Fame as a winged figure holding a portrait of Marie de Médicis, and the 3 dedicatees: Lords of the States General; Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, as a warrior; Amalia van Solms, Princess of Orange (wrongly identified as "Prinzessin Maria von Oranien" in Parthey, cited below), with the Three Graces) and 1 large and 10 full-page etched views of Marie de Médicis' progress through the Dutch cities; the first, of "Boisleduc" ('s-Hertogenbosch) is on 2 folded leaves; the last depicts "La nauire de la reyne en sa nauigation." Although all are sometimes attributed to Wenceslaus Hollar (e.g. by Landwehr, cited below), probably only the allegorical title page and the portraits of Frederick Henry and Amalia are by him; see New Hollstein, Parthey and Pennington (cited below). See also Hind, Arthur. Wenceslaus Hollar and his views of London and Windsor in the seventeenth century, 1922, pages 3, 11.
Signatures: pi² [maltese cross]1-[maltese cross]3² A-2D². Leaf 2D2 blank.
One leaf of plates with prints on both sides (engraved title page; on verso, Lords of the States General); 7 full-page etchings printed on the verso of pages of letterpress.
"The arrangement of the plates varies slightly in the different copies"--British Library catalog.
Ornamental woodcut title page vignette; ornamental headpieces and initials; type flower tailpieces.
An earlier state of the allegorical title page, without the imprint, is known; see New Hollstein and Pennington.
