The etchers are again given as the Van Doetecum brothers in Hollstein. As in the first 20 plates, Cock's name as printer was successively replaced by those of Theodor and Jan Galle. The representations of corridors in buildings, streets, canals, squares and separate palaces are mostly bird's-eye views, and as opposed to those in plates 1-20, most include human figures Plate 49 was added to the work by Theodor Galle, and is apparently not after Vredeman de Vries; see Mielke, V (3) Mielke, H.
