[Antique title page, 1616] Vetusta Ruinae /Figuren bij manden met vruchten en groenten, published 1616, 1 p.
Frontispiece to the set of fifteen plates with invented landscapes and ruins.
The title of the series is on a curtain hanging on the wall in the background. Ten figures in the front with fruits and vegetables.
On the left, is a rather licentious scene: the man standing and pointing at the title with a finger is having an erection that has attracted the attention of the young woman seated just beside him.
The title reads: ‘Vetustae Ruinae et Venustissimae aliquot Re:/ giones, ad oculorum oblectamentum, et Picturae adjumentum, á Ioanne Veldio de:/ lineatae, ác formis expressae et a Roberto / Baudous iam primum publicatae. / AMSTELODAMI / Anno MDCXVI.’ and at the bottom: ‘Joannes vanden Velde Fecit. Robb. de baudous excudit 1616’. Further numbered: ‘1’.
