Souvenir sheets in commemoration of Emperor Rudolph II

  • Items from the collections of Rudolph.
  • Emperor Rudolph II (sovereign 1576-1611).
  • Emperor Rudolph's Court Painter, Giuseppe Arcimboldi (self-portrait). 
Personal Note: I particularly like the way Arcimboldo is depicted in the last sheet as the effigy of some sort of Magus that could have sprang out from one of his own paintings.
