Wow! That would be interesting - if true.

I have seen Pelcel's book (_Abbildungen..._) today. It is in
4 vols. and contains short biographies of learned Bohemians
and Moravians together with engraved portraits. I now see
I was wrong about dating the engraving of Westonia to the 17th c.
Other engravings are signed by the same artist so they were
produced for this publication. However Pelcel identifies
from what original portraits these were made - and he says
he has Westonia's portrait himself (perhaps that is why he
included her - the only female in all vols.).

Best regards,
