Notes
Attribution based on first letters of inscribed name, which take the same form as Claes Visscher's monogram. Visscher was an etcher and publisher rather than an engraver, and probably designed or published, but did not engrave, this print.
Perhaps part of a series including 0005, although this seems to be a German print.
