= Very delicate and rare print. Peter Overadt started business as a publisher of decorated topographical maps, filling the gap left by Frans Hogenberg's death in 1590. After 1600 he shifted towards the manufacture of religious prints with a Catholic orientation. He is sometimes identified as the engraver of anonymous sheets under his imprint.
