FOLKEMA, JAN JAKOB
FOLKEMA, JAN JAKOB (Dutch). M. Pinchart attributed to Fol- kema a series of 31 medals of Louis XIV., which however are not his work. This artist probably never resided in Paris. The only medal M.

Folkema, which appears in Van Loon's Plates is that of Jakob Folkema, copper-plate engraver and designer of a certain number of ...
