Elstracke

Elstracke, RENOLD, long classed as one of the earliest native English engravers, was born probably in Belgium towards the end of the 16th century, and flourished in England in the early part of the following century. He worked chiefly for the booksellers, and his engravings, including portraits of the kings of England, of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Darnley, of Whittington, and numerous other notabilities, are much sought after, chiefly from their rarity.
