Editing Plantin Press (section)

==Works==
Like the printer [[Robert Estienne]], Plantin exposed galley proofs of his works in front of his establishment and promised a reward to anyone who could find faults. Later Plantins were friends of the painter [[Peter Paul Rubens]] who did drawings for illustrations and also some portraits of the Plantin-Moretus family. Plantin was also a member of the [[Familia Caritatis|Family of Love]]. He was a close friend of cartographer Abraham Ortel (a.k.a. [[Ortelius]]), genre painter [[Brueghel the Elder]], and calligraphy master Clement Perret.<ref>Charles Wehrenberg, ''Before New York'', Solo Zone 1995/2001, {{ISBN|1-886163-16-2}}</ref>
