It is decorated with a frontispiece: allegory composed and engraved by Romain de Hooghe, of which Didot speaks: "It is a sumptuously executed monument, raised by the States of Holland to William III. It contains 16 very picturesque plates and of a very great brightness, due to R. de Hooghe who deployed all the resources of a talent that one can really appreciate only in these great compositions". William III undertook this journey to confer in The Hague with the princes who were in league with him against Louis XIV. A SUPERB EXAMPLE, VERY BEAUTIFUL IN PRINT AND PERFECTLY FRESH, in its attractive ivory vellum binding of the period. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
