The beggars.

8 etchings, 8,5 x 6,5 cm, laid paper, signed in the plate "J. G. Van Vliet" (some min. foxing, trimmed to the platemark).

All under 1 passe-partout and frame.

From the famous set of beggars by Jan van Vliet. Different states. The title-page, the maddler and the hurdy-gurdy player are early 17th-c. impressions of the 1st and 2nd state (of 5). The others are most likely later 18th- and 19th-c. impressions.
