Notes

This is the title-page of a series of forty-three illustrations for Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus" (published in Antwerp in 1641). The series records the decorations designed by Rubens and installed on the occasion of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand's triumphal entry into Antwerp as the new Governor of the Spanish Netherlands in 1635. The engravings depict the temporary arches and stages erected along the procession route, along with the paintings, sculptures, festoons, and banners that adorned them. Theodor van Thulden engraved all of the plates with the exception of two executed by Jacques Neefs, including this frontispiece and a portrait of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand (Plate 2). Van Thulden also assumed the expenses for printing the book, initially contracted to Balthasar Moretus, but eventually taken up by Jan van Meurs. With considerable delay the volume appeared in January 1643, after the death of Ferdinand in 1641. So as not to appear a posthumous work, the city magistrates ammended the date in the Dedication to 18 July 1641; several books, however, do contain a colophon with 1642. The text volume (245.a.3) contains many illustrations of Roman coins. An additional plate with the view of Antwerp by an anonymous printmaker has been added to this album following Plate 3.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
