This is a Dutch multi-volume biographical dictionary of Netherlandish painters and painteresses, written by Jacob Campo Weyerman and published in 1769, aimed at art lovers and collectors. Its engraved vignettes in rococo cartouche frames show riverside landscapes with trees, boats, ruined buildings and figures, offering a designer ready examples of framed scenic composition and eighteenth-century ornamental borders.
