Whereas these had only 72 pl., this ed. has 105 engr. ill. from which pl. 49-55 in vol.1 and pl. 25-50 in vol. 2 were added by Bakhuysen. Most of the pl. were drawn by J. E. Voet and engraved by V. Bischoff, J. A. Eisenmann, C. F. C. Kleemann, C. F. Lotter, etc. The 2nd vol. of this copy has the rare title page in 2nd st., dated 1806 and with "naamlyst" instead of "naamlijst".
