Front Cover: The cover image is taken from an engraving by Esaias van Hulsen (ca. 1585–1624), a Dutch artist in the employ of Johann Friedrich, duke of Württemberg (reg. 1608–28). It was printed in Representatio der Furstlichen Aufzug und Ritterspil: so der durchleuchtig hochgeborn Furst und Herr, Herr Johan Friderich Hertzog zu Württemberg und Teeckh . . . bey Ihr. Fe. Ge. neüwgebornen Sohn Friderich Hertzog zu Württemberg (Stuttgart, 1616), a volume of engravings depicting the festivities that took place in Stuttgart from March 10–17, 1616, in honor of the baptism of the duke’s son Friedrich. This image is from a masque and procession that occurred on the night of the baptism. The huge papier-mâché heads represent the four cardinal directions, and from their mouths a group of dancers representing “the twelve nations” is emerging. These twelve figures took part in an allegorical masque and procession in which Duke Johann Friedrich himself appeared as King Priam of Troy.
