Notes
This version differs from that in George in that the accompanying letterpress text is in German instead of Dutch.
The inscription "C. vom Pas." appears under the letterpress text ("C. vande Pas." in the Dutch version). It may refer to the author of the text, or perhaps to the artist. One possibility is the Dutch engraver Crispin Van de Passe de Oude II (1593?-1670?).
