A set of 16 engravings (image 149 x 98mm. and smaller) by Israel Henriet after Callot, comprising a frontispiece, representation of Christ and the Virgin, and 13 Apostles (Paul is an addition to the "original" 12 and Matthias replaces Judas Isacriot), the order following that of Lieure, 6 inscribed "Callot fec.", the rest "Israel excudit", 7 with posthorn watermarks, mounted as a series of 16 prints in a green morocco-backed box (light spotting, occasionally affecting image).
