| Notes | The marks E.R.C. cannot be identifed with any known weavers, mark of the city of Brussels B B. On October 5, 1624 Gaspard Nagodt, treasurer of the Prince of Poland, signed a contract with a Brussels' weaver Jacob Geubels the Younger for delivery of ten tapestries representing the story of Odysseus of six yards height each. The complete set comprised 594 yards and cost 19,008 florins. Probably due to Prince's financial difficulties the tapestries were not executed till Geubels' death in 1629 and the commission was accomplished by an unknown workshop. In the letter from September 15, 1632 Ladislaus IV Vasa asked Christian IV of Denmark to release his tapestries from customs (Rkps Riqsarkivet, Polen A. I, 3). | |||||||||||||||||||||||
