Goutsbloem, Cornelis (active ca. 1635-1660). "Trap der voorbeelden des Heeren Iesu Christi"

"Huic omnes Prophetae testi monium Perhibent". Engraving, 42 x 51.5 cm (incl. extensive verse in Dutch below the image). Signed "C. Goutsblom" and w. address "Frederick de Wit excudit" in the plate. Mounted at upper margin. Waterst., foxed, with some creasing and smoothed folds in the margins. A good copy for such a large print, with ample margins.

Extremely rare print - a fine, mid-17th-century variant of the "trap des ouderdoms". Cf. De Meyer p. 341 ("enige bekende volksprent"). Description of a much smaller, anonymous verion, also published by De Wit, is held in the Rijksmuseum (our larger variant not yet available online): "Trap met 13 treden met profeten. Op elke trede de naam van de profeet [and 11 w. their age]. In de drie bogen onder de trap de geboorte van Christus, de verzoeking van Adam en Eva en de hemelvaart van Christus. Links- en rechtsboven cartouches met tekst. Onder de voorstelling een vers in vijf kolommen."
