Dimensions : 20,1 x 34,0 cm

The engraving is taken from "ORTELIUS Hieronymus - Martin Meyer : Ortelius Redivivus et Continuatus,oder Der Ungarischen Kriegs-Empörungen. Historische Beschreibung, darinnen enthalten alles, was sich bey vorgenommenen Beläger- und Eroberungen der Stäte, Vestungen und Schlösser, dessgleichen in veranlassten Schlachten und vorgelauffenen Scharmützeln …." printed in Nurnberg in 1665 by Paul Fürsten.

The actual size of the engravin is 18,3 x 12,5 cm.

On the other engraving I have with this famous Voivode I’ve mentioned about the engraver, Johann Siebmacher. This engraving also hand colored, and it is noticeably different in this edition printed by Paul Fürsten.

The engraving size is 12,0 x 15,0 cm and it is the original engraving of the famous Romanian leader, made in the year in which he was killed.
This engraving is hand-colored, and it is taken from "Chronologia oder historische Beschreibung aller Kriegsempörungen unnd Belägerungen der Stätt und Vestungen auch Scharmützeln und Schlachten so in Ober und Unter Ungern auch Siebenbürgen mit dem Turcken (...)" by Ortelius. The paint penetrated the paper and the portrait is visible on the back side of it.
The engravings in his book is made by the Nuremberg printer and engraver Johann Siebmacher, who was a well known illustrator of books, author of maps, town views and battle scenes, especially for those of European-Turkish wars. It is also known that his successors had sold his engraved plates, which were hence used in later times by other publishers, in various other works.

Vopseaua a penetrat hartia astfel incat portretul este vizibil pe partea din spate.

Gravurile din cartea acestuia sunt facute de gravorul si tipograful Johann Siebmacher, care a fost un cunoscut ilustrator de carti, autor de harti, vederi ale oraselor, scene de batalie, in special cele ale razboaielor europenilor cu turcii. Deasemenea este cunoscut ca succesorii acestuia i-au vandut placutele de gravuri, care au fost ulterior folosite ce alti tipografi, in diferite lucrari.
