There is an engraved titlepage, an engraved portrait of Jan Zoet, some decorative woodcut initials and an endpiece. This book contains Jan Zoet's description of the ‘Oranjezaal’ in Paleis Huis ten Bosch, including an engraved fold out map of this famous hall with paitings depicting the heroism of the family of Orange-Nassau.
