520 2 # $a No publication-date is carried by the title-plate or other plate. The compilation is a reverse-copy by J.J. von Sandrart of etchings from Salvator Rosa's Figurine (probably originally published in 1656 or 1657) together with copies of six of his larger plates. R.W. Wallace mentions an earlier issue in which Sandrart's imprint read, 'Norimbergae aput Joannem Jacobum de Sandrart Pictorem et Calcographum'. In the eighteenth century the series were often referred to as Banditti, but Rosa himself called them simply Figurine.

The plates show men, women, soldiers, singly or in groups, reclining, seated, kneeling, standing or walking, and wearing the most various clothing. Their romantic and slightly exotic appearance led to their being called 'banditti', and they were much in vogue in eighteenth-century Britain, where they influenced several engravers such as John Hamilton Mortimer, A.R.A.
