Lettered with titles, production details and dedication to the King.
Seven of the original cartoons survive (including that of 'The Sacrifice at Lystra'), now in the Victoria and Albert Museum on loan from the Royal Collection. The ten original tapestries were woven in the workshop of Pieter van Aelst and are currently housed in the Vatican Museums.
