About this work

Seven scenes on an album page. In the middle top, a coat of arms related to the Van Egmond family of Nijenburg. Next to it, a shield with a palm branch, and a parrot as a crest. The shield in the middle with a crest is not filled in. Bottom left, the coat of arms of the Bicker family. Next to it, the blazon of the rhetoricians' chamber De Blauwe Acoleyen from Vlissingen with the motto: 'Den geest ondersoeckt al'. This scene is possibly printed from a medal, as all text is mirrored. The prints are part of an album.
