Arnold de Jode

Arnold de Jode, the son of Pieter de Jode, the younger, was born at Antwerp in 1638. He was instructed in engraving by his father, but he never rose above mediocrity. He worked in the Netherlands and in Spain, and was in England in 1666, the year of the great fire in London, and in 1667. His best prints are portraits, though they are but indifferent. Among other plates, the following are by him:

gollark: I'll add it to your psychological profile.
gollark: I mostly just have a terminal thing open for building and running.
gollark: Partly because I'm used to editors autocompleting very slowly or badly.
gollark: I'm mostly happy to use anything which does syntax highlighting, good ctrl+F and autoindent.
