Philip Galle
Sculptura in Aes (The Workshop of an Engraver), plate 19 of the Nova Reperta suite, c. 1590, burin after Stradanus, 20 x 27 cm, large margins (New Hollstein [Stradanus] 341 iii/iv), fine proof with number 19 and the address of Johannes Galle, small tear restored in the lower margin.
Sculptura in æs is the first detailed and realistic representation of an intaglio workshop where the division of labour evokes both the sophistication of the process and the diffusion of a large number of proofs.
