Additional information
Bound in volume with index preceding drawings and prints numbered 1-115 (page no. 115). Probably from the collection of Cardinal Albani, acquired for George III by James Adam in 1762. Possibly produced for Alessandro (II) Pico della Mirandola (1637-1691), Duke della Mirandola and Marquis of Concordia. Only one unnamed daughter with his wife Anna Beatrice d'Este is included in this genealogy, thus suggesting a date between 1657 (when their eldest daughter was born) and the birth of their second child in 1660.
