Old Testament Title Sheet in: Historie des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments
The so-called Mortier Bible contains 429 illustrations of the Old and New Testament. More than twenty designers and engravers were involved in the massive project. This copy contains more than 100 additional prints, including proofs and hand-coloured prints by master colourist Dirk Jansz van Santen. The gold stamped bindings were used exclusively for deluxe editions by the Amsterdam publisher Pieter Mortier.
