Summary

• The shoulder-length portraits of 55 cardinals in oval frames were issued in the de' Rossi publication: Libro de' ritratti degli eminentissimi signori cardinali, dall' anno MDCLVIII nel pontificato di Alessandro VII sino al presente. Begun in March of 1657, it was updated over time as new cardinals were created and old plates need to be reworked or replaced. See Grelle Iusco
• The portraits are arranged by date of creation from 5 August 1669 to 23 December 1711. The earlier prints bear the imprint of Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi, while the later prints bear the imprint of his successor Domenico de' Rossi. Most portraits include the forename and surname of cardinals, office held, date of creation, coat of arms of reigning pope at time of creation, cardinal's family arms, and often his native city or country
