They are reduced copies of Thomas de Leu's 22 double-page engravings after Perret's drawings, as these appeared in the Paris ed. of ca. 1601. There is some simplification, reversal, and redistribution of the images over a larger number of smaller plates. The large garden plan (leaves [15]-[16] of the Paris ed.) has been omitted entirely. Letterpress text with historiated woodcut initials.
