A Latin account published in Amsterdam in 1638 by Caspar van Baerle, with engravings by Claes Moeyaert, Salomon Savery and Pieter Nolpe, describing the civic welcome the city council and people gave Queen Marie de Médicis. The plates are formal engraved scenes of ceremony, with crowded processions, figures in rich robes and classical architecture, and a designer could take from them the staging of public pageantry and triumphal entry.
