These variations on the Commedia dell'Arte theme from the beginning of the 17th century have been uploaded at full size, after removal of the library stamps.

Verbatim from the website: "20. B. I. 93, [Raccolta di stampe sec. XVII-XVIII]
editori Jacques Cherau, Assuerus van Londerseel - Calcografie: Jacques Bellange (incisore), Sebastien Leclerc (incisore), A.S. (incisore), Francesco Maggiotto (autore), Jacob de Gheyn II (incisore).
