Oeuvres de P.P. Rubens et de A. Van Dijck ou Recueil des principaux tableaux des [sic] ces deux illustres peintres gravées par Schelte, et Boetius de Bolswert, Luc Vosterman, Paul Pontius, et autres célèbres artistes. Avec un précis historique et raisonné sur le mérite et l'exécution de ces différens chefs-d'oeuvres. Amsterdam, [ Hodges ?], 1808. Très gr. in-plano (72 x 55 cm) : [2] ff. et 98 pl. (large mouillure claire passim dans la marge inf., pet. déchirure marginale à la 1re pl.)). Rel. de l'époque : plein veau raciné, plats sertis de roulettes et filets dorés, dos lisse à caissons fleuronnés dorés et étiq. de maroq. rouge (mors inf. du 2d plat fendu, traces d'usure mais bon aspect).
Portraits réunis de Rubens et Van Dijck par Erasmus Quellin et 97 grandes gravures, dont 8 dépliantes ou sur double page, portant le plus souvent un titre en latin, le nom de Rubens, celui du graveur et du diffuseur de l'époque (souvent Hendricks) ainsi que la date originelle de la gravure. Le feuillet d'introduction donne un bref rappel des gravures faites d'après Rubens, les premières ayant été publiées par Martin Van den Ende, puis Hendricks après la mort duquel les cuivres passèrent dans la famille de Rubens. Au XVIIIe s., ces cuivres seront réunis par des amateurs dont Charles de Lorraine et Van Heurck. Ce recueil fut vendu en 25 livraisons.
Notre exemplaire est apparemment enrichi d'une gravure (cfr bibliogr. infra).
