Jan Lievens (1607-1674) published multitudes of the portrait heads – both actual and fanciful – that proliferated throughout Europe with the 17th-century expansion of the trade in commercial etchings and engravings. The tile page above accompanied one selection of these prints issued at Lugd. Bat. (i.e. Lugdunum Batavorum, the Latin name for the Dutch city of Leiden).
