A portrait of John Harington, Baron Harington of Exton from Heroologia Anglica John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton (1541-1613) was an English courtier and guardian of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James Willem van de Passe (c.1597-1636) was a Dutch engraver. Born in Cologne, he was the third son of Crispijn van de Passe I. His early prints were published by his father, but a significant number of those made in the 1610s bear French privileges. Between 1618 and 1620 he and his sister Magdalena engraved the plates for Holland's Heroologia Anglia. He worked in London from 1621, where he married Elizabeth Jenner, who was probably a relative of his publisher Thomas Jenner. They had two children, Crispin and Elizabeth. It is thought that he was a victim of the plague that killed his fellow engraver Robert van Voerst. Magdalena de Passe, also known as Magdalena van de Passe (1600 - 1638) was a Dutch engraver, and daughter of the engraver Crispijn van de Passe. Like her brothers, Simon, Crispijn II, and Willem, Magdalena worked for her father. She is primarily known for her landscapes and portraits, but also collaborated with her brother Willem on a series of 65 engravings for Henry Holland's Heroologia Anglica, 1620. After her marriage to Frederick van Bevervoorden in 1634, who died two years later, she did not continue with engraving.
