About Thomas de Rouck

  • Thomas de Rouck (baptized January 21, 1592, Bergen op Zoom - September 5, 1660, Bergen op Zoom) was a steward and later the mayor of his native town Bergen op Zoom. De Rouck developed a late hatching system (1645), but failed to make a serious cut.
  • The engravings, according to his 1673 work, were possibly made by his relatives.
  • The portrait of the vicar Lambertus de Rycke (†1658) seen in the book was engraved by W[illem] de Rouck.
  • F.
  • J.
