Summary
Gentlemen are choosing a courtesan. The album has 40 portraits of the ‘most beautiful,’ mainly highborn prostitutes of the day, with descriptions in three languages. In his dedication to the reader, Van de Passe covered him-self by giving a phoney place of publication and claiming to offer an overview of changing fashion. He also denounces consorting with prostitutes. This notwithstanding, the publication was a great success.
