The scene on this plate is copied from a design by Abraham Bloemaert (1564-1651) included in his drawing book and first engraved by his son Cornelis II (ca. 1603-ca. 1680). The scene as shown on this and other examples is, however, taken from a reverse copy, perhaps that published by the unidentified Casp.
