Typographic Title Page with a Vignette Depicting the Allegorical Figure of Justice, from Thronus Justitiae, tredecim pulcherrimus tabulis... Artist: Willem van Swanenburg (Netherlandish, ca. 1581/82-1612); After Joachim Wtewael (Netherlandish, Utrecht 1566-1638 Utrecht). Dimensions: Sheet: 10 13/16 × 13 7/8 in. (27.4 × 35.2 cm). Publisher: Christoffel van Sichem I (Netherlandish, 1546-1624); Title page published by Pieter de Jode I (Netherlandish, Antwerp 1570-Antwerp 1634). Series/Portfolio: Thronus Justitiae, tredecim pulcherrimus tabulis.... Date: 1606. This print is from a set of 13 plates depicting "pictures of justice", with scenes from the Bible, history, and legend. The prints are executed by Willem Swaneburg after designs by Joachim Wtewael. The prints were first published by Christoffel van Sichem in 1606. This print is the typographic title page, which is not described by Hollstein, who only includes the engraved tite page depicting King David and Solomon. This title page incorrectly states the number of plates as twelve, but a sheet of paper has been pasted on top of the first part of the word "duodecim," correcting it to read "tredecim.".
