Hendrick Goltzius

Goltzius' famous print of the only state in a very fine, strong and crisp impression, trimmed to the platemark, at the lower margin with the Latin text. The sheet - one of the soldier engravings that found particularly rich imitation - forms one of the high points of Goltzius' so-called "spranger style". The Latin distich below the depiction refers to the revolt of the Dutch provinces against Spanish rule. – The upper right corner tip torn, abrasions in the corners verso. Verso a faint paper thinning on the left edge, otherwise in good condition.
