The engraved busts above are from a set intended to carry current hair and adornment styles to fashion outposts far from the courtly sophistication of the Italian peninsula during the 16th century. Identities and moral qualities are also supplied for each figure, to lend dignity. More of these portrait-prints, created for a variety of purposes, are ranged below. Most were donated to the Ashmolean Museum early in the 19th century by scholarly travelers and collectors.
