Portret van Alessandro Cagliostro (engraved portrait), Rijksmuseum
period print · 1782
LINK
SUMMARY
Engraved portrait of Cagliostro held by the Rijksmuseum (RP-P-1909-4425), released CC0 (public-domain dedication). The Rijksmuseum dates the print to between 1782 and 1816; the media entity records 1782, the start of that range, and the caption gives the range rather than a single year. The print itself is lettered 'CAGLIOSTRO' on the plinth (with 'Joseph Balsamo' below), which is the basis for the named identification, confirmed by a vision pass on 2026-06-03 (a bust-length portrait in an oval medallion set into a stone niche). License (CC0), date range, institution, and engraver credit copied from the Wikimedia Commons file record on 2026-06-03; the Commons record links onward to the holding institution's catalogue record at the Rijksmuseum (hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.COLLECT.108596, object RP-P-1909-4425).
NOTES
This engraved portrait, held by the Rijksmuseum and released CC0, is a second period likeness of Cagliostro for the case page. The print’s own lettering (‘CAGLIOSTRO’, with ‘Joseph Balsamo’ beneath) names the sitter; the Rijksmuseum dates it broadly to between 1782 and 1816, so the bundle records the start of that range and states the range in the caption rather than asserting a single year.
