Notes: 

Watermark: none visible through lining.
This album contains sixty-six leaves, all except seven pasted over with blue paper, including twenty-four drawings on twenty-one leaves by a Callot follower, two with drawings on the verso; of the remaining forty-five leaves, thirty-eight bear drawings by an unknown French artist, copying French paintings of the seventeenth century. Although initially attributed to Remigio Cantagallina (ca. 1582-1635), the style of the drawings is much closer to Jacques Callot's.
