<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ex Libris, post: 2160736, member: 14916&quot;]As we debunked the link between the print and Admiral Francisco de Mendoza the dating of the Curator of the British Museum also becomes uncertain. That is why I changed the title of the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Curator&#039;s comments</p><p>This a close copy of a print by Petrus a Merica (Harms II.64; and Paas PA-308) which Harms dates to c.1598 on the basis of the reference in the verse to &quot;Broeder Fransiscus&quot;, identified as Admiral Francisco de Mendoza who lead Spanish troops in the southern Netherlands from 1598. For other versions, see BM Satires 81 and 101.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For now I have put the date of the print on 2nd half 16th century (1550-1600). Because there is no signature is on the print everything is possible. What if Pieter van der Heyden made his version (1570) after my version? Not very likely, but possible in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
