Collection of 26 prints from Van Dyck's series "Icones Principum Virorum". The plan of this publication took shape after Van Dyck returned from Italy (1626) and before he went to England (1632). He directed and revised the work of the best engravers of the Rubens workshop such as Lucas Vosterman, Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert, Paulus Pontius, Pieter de Jode and Jacob Neefs. The portraits in this lot include those of Pieter Stevens, Carlos de Colonna, Cornelis Schut, Cornelis Saftleven, Theodoor Galle, Theodoor Rombouts, Anthonis Cornelissen, Constantijn Huygens, Pieter Snayers, Nicolaes Rockox, Maarten Pepyn, Artus Wolfert, Jacques Dubroeucq, Jean-Baptiste Barbé, Pieter Stevens, Robert van Voest, Frans Francken and Alexandre Dellafaille. All are late impressions of the final state.
