The Seven Planets.

6 (of 7) engravings, 22 x 24 cm, laid paper (some repairs, trimmed to borders with text in lower margin preserved, sm. old folds, def. at corners with loss of sm. part of picture, sl. toned).

Stuck by edges under passe-partout.

Allegorical representations of the Planets seated on a carriage overlooking a vast landscape with cities, harbours and winding rivers. The activities in the landscape are related to the astrological influence of the planet, e.g. Mars with war, Mercury with commerce and the arts. Venus is missing from this set.
