[Volume II.]

52 pictures

This is a volume of engraved plates, probably from an eighteenth-century French compendium of religious customs, with captions in French and Dutch-style place names such as Augsbourg and Vlissingen. The scenes show church services, baptisms, weddings, funerals and processions in crowded interiors and streets, with figures in period dress. A designer could draw on the orderly multi-panel layouts, the dense crowd groupings and the formal costume detail of the Baroque-era engraving.
