To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand the Italian MS. note on the British Museum im- pression of the etching of Vorsterman's Momper (W. 88) is a pivot round which the argument might easily swing the other way. There only remain two other etchings attributed to Van Dyck which we have not already discussed, i.e. the copy of the head of Philippe Le Roy (W. p. 69, C. I. copy), and the version of Jan Snellinx engraved by Pieter de Jode (W. 37). The Le Roy is a good copy in reverse from the first state of Van Dyck's etc...hing, with plenty of vigour, but entirely without the subtlety of the original. It has been suggested that Van Dyck repeated the subject after an unsatisfactory essay. But this would not, I am sure, account for the complete difference in quality between the two. There is none of the significant force of the undisputed etching, in the outline of the face in the other version, and I could not for a moment regard the latter as other than a copy. The etching of Pieter de Jode's version of Jan Snellinx 84 Van Dtck (?) and Paul Pontius.
