Note

Added engraved title page, with title, author statement and imprint: Histoire de lentree de la reine mere du roy tres chrestien dans la Grande Bretaigne / par le Sr. de la Serre. A Londre : Imprime par Iohn Raworth, pour George Thomason, et Octauian Pullen, au Cimetiere S. Paul, a la Rose.
Signatures: pi² ):(1-):(2² ):(3₁ A-O².
Illustrations: 4 full-page engravings (added allegorical title page; the two dedicatees, Charles I, King of England, with Justice, and his consort, Henrietta Maria, with Minerva; and Marie de Médicis received by the English monarchs) and 1 large and 9 full-page etched views of Marie de Médicis' progress from Harwich to London, that of the arrival in London on 2 folded leaves. Although all are sometimes attributed to Wenceslaus Hollar (e.g. by Landwehr, cited below), probably only the added title page and the three portraits are by him; see New Hollstein, Parthey and Pennington (cited below). See also Hind, Arthur. Wenceslaus Hollar and his views of London and Windsor in the seventeenth century, 1922, pages 3, 11.
An earlier state of the allegorical title page, with verses by La Serre in place of the imprint and with different allegorical figures in lower half of the plate, is known; see New Hollstein and Pennington.
Five of the full-page etchings are printed on the verso of pages of letterpress.
Ornamental woodcut title page vignette; ornamental headpieces and initials; type flower head- and tailpieces.
