[6] He worked on various publication projects for leading publishers in the Southern Netherlands and the Dutch Republic.

He was in 1642 in Brussels making some of the plates for the 'Portraits des hommes illustres du 17e siècle' (Portraits of famous people of the 17th century) a publication released in Amsterdam in 1649.
