Catalogue Note
The brief text accompanying Amman's illustrations is by Franciscus Modius of Bruges, although it is arguably the publisher Feierabend's five-page introduction that provides a cultural framework for the depictions of diverse national costumes.
For another work illustrated by Amman and published by Feierabend, see Macclesfield Applied Science, lot 3622.
