Genealogy of the Lords and Counts of Culemborg, Nicolaes de Kemp (attributed to), c. 1590 Canvas Print

In preached pig leather binding bound handwriting on 55 sheets of parchment with a description of the sex of the lords and counts of Culemborg. The manuscript has two closures of metal and contains an allegorical title page (frontispiece), followed by a sheet with a colored drawing of a man (herald) in coat of arms skirt. This is followed by 51 pages, largely unilaterally meaning and described, of men and women from the Culemborg family, starting with Baldwin of Cleves and ending with Margriet van Pallandt (1510-1593). The men and women are always facing each other on two sheets, with the back of the sheets generally being blank and occasionally described with text. All the drawings are colored, and all the drawings, both of men and of women, show a person on a plinth holding a coat of arms, which rests on the plinth. The heads are - although most of them obviously not portraits - remarkably precise and finely drawn. The clothing of the figures is exuberant and in color. Striking here are the patterns and the fabric reproduction, which make a 'flat' impression, and the often large headgear. The attitude of the various figures is often lively. Under the plinth is always a handwritten explanation, which identifies the person and puts it in the genealogical line.
