Notes One of a series of forty-three plates illustrating Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus"; for further comments see 1884,0112.31. This etching depicts in detail the principal canvas inserted into the tympanum of the Stage of Isabella (1884,0112.55), dedicated to the memory of Ferdinand's predecessor as the Governor of the Netherlands. The work celebrates Ferdinand's appointment and the promise his succession brings for a newly restored Spanish Netherlands.
