3.4 DQ knighted at inn by innkeeper
Illustration done with few details and with very basic burin lines.
In our copy the frontispieces for Part I and Part II are missing. They were both the same: a copy engraved and signed by Michael van der Gucht of that by Savery for Part I (Dordrecht: Savery, 1657). Michael van der Gucht included under the right pedestal Merlin's medallion, that appears in Savery's Part II frontispiece.
Michael van der Gucht (Amberes, 1660 - London, 1725): Flemish school engraver disciple of Frederik Bouttats in Amberes. He married Maria van Haghenberg in Amsterdam in 1682 and traveled to London to work for David Loggan. He was wellknown due to his anatomical figures and his illustration for the "England History" by Carendon. It is highlighted his "Savage portrait" (Benezit: 1976, V, 261).
Frederik Bouttats "the Young" (? - 1676): Engraver in Amberes, he is one of the most important of 17th century. He engraved portraits of artists and personalities of his own time )Louis XIII, Felipe II King of Spain, Cristina Queen of Sweden, Cromwell, the Duke of Brabant, the architect L. van Heil, the painters J.-B. van Heil and David Ryckaert...), religious subjects and illustrations for several editions ("Images of men of spirit", 1649). In 1643, he was part of the Guild of Saint Luke in Amberes. He had twenty-four sons and daughters; some of them were engravers for publishers in Amberes and Colonia (Benezit: 1976, II, 249).
