Plates etched by Petrus van der Borcht. According to A.J.J. Delen (Histoire de la gravure dans les anciens Pays-Bas, 2. ptie., 1934, pages 95-96), the etchings were based on the engraver's own designs. According to Hans Mielke (introduction to Bochius, Joannes. The ceremonial entry of Ernst, Archduke of Austria, into Antwerp, June 14, 1594, 1970, page xiii), Pieter van der Borcht may have used some of his own drawings for his etchings, but at least some of the drawings were probably by Joos de Momper.
