Notes
The trade card of the Hemelsoet brothers of Gent, is an excellent example of the “medley” print, in which as many examples of the kinds of printing that the firm is able to produce are displayed in ordered chaos. While the current offering includes cartes-de-visite, togographical views, and maps, the firm was later known for producing funereal ephemera.
