Solomon Proops, Amsterdam: 1712.
The Second Illustrated Amsterdam Hagadah.
Changes were undertaken in producing this Amsterdam 1712 edition following the first Amsterdam edition (1695). Most significantly, this included the addition of two series of vignettes in the style of the earlier Venetian Hagadah - namely, the various stages of the Seder (f. 2r) and the Ten Plagues (f. 13r).
