Sometimes they published an entire book with these reproductions. This book was published by the <a href="https://museumplantinmoretus.be/en/content/welcome-museum-plantin-moretus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://museumplantinmoretus.be/en/content/welcome-museum-plantin-moretus" rel="nofollow">Museum Plantin Moretus</a>&nbsp; in Antwerp by the first conservator Max Rooses in 1877, one year after the museum opened. The book contains a description (in Dutch and French) and&nbsp; copper engravings of 35 book titles and portraits designed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Paul_Rubens" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Paul_Rubens" rel="nofollow">Peter Paul Rubens</a> and mostly engraved by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelis_Galle_the_Elder" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelis_Galle_the_Elder" rel="nofollow">Cornelis Galle the Elder</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>So do you think these copper engravings are genuine?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532364[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This book I have <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/oldpapercollector/books/history/1623-annales-ducum-seu-principum-brabantiae-totiusque-belgii" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/view/oldpapercollector/books/history/1623-annales-ducum-seu-principum-brabantiae-totiusque-belgii" rel="nofollow">in my collection</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532365[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532366[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532367[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532368[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This book about Seneca written by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_Lipsius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_Lipsius" rel="nofollow">Justus Lipsius</a> is also i<a href="https://sites.google.com/view/oldpapercollector/books/philosophy/1651-l-annaei-senecae-opera-quae-exstant-omnia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/view/oldpapercollector/books/philosophy/1651-l-annaei-senecae-opera-quae-exstant-omnia" rel="nofollow">n my collection</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532369[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532370[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Portrait of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Urban_VIII" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Urban_VIII" rel="nofollow">pope Urban VIII</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532372[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Coat of arms of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Urban_VIII" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Urban_VIII" rel="nofollow">pope Urban VIII</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]532371[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My book isn&#039;t in the best state and contains only 33 of the 35 engravings, but it was very affordable if you look <a href="https://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookinfo.phtml?nr=1568557396&amp;l=nl&amp;seller=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookinfo.phtml?nr=1568557396&amp;l=nl&amp;seller=" rel="nofollow">what these books can make</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
