Lower down St. Peter 1. is receiving the souls of the saved, while those of
the lost are driven r. by deruons into the jaws of hell. The souls in
lirnbus and purgatory are seen a little higher gazing through the bars of
their prison. On a black band at the foot of the print is the inscription
in white letters, -DtCS tlla Dt.S tt'f ♦ BtCS falamttat’ ft tntSfVtf ♦ tUCS
magna ft atuava balUf. The border is double.

[382 x 270.] Modern impression from the block (Becker, A 11) in tlie Derschau
collection now in the Berlin Cabinet.

The technique on the robe of C'hrist, the mantle of St. John Baptist, and elsewhere
suggests that the cut is a copy of a print in the mciniere criblee.

Purchased from Mr. Bousfield, 1850.

THE LAST JUDGMENT.

Schr. 602. W. u. Z. 137. W.—D 42.

Christ, with lily and sword, sits, centre, on a rainbow. With his r.
hand he rnakes the sign of blessing, with his 1. that of rejection. His
feet rest on a globe, mapped out in lancl and water. The Yirgin and St.
John Baptist kneel 1. ancl r. in intercession. Over their heads are two
angels blowing trumpets. Below the dead are rising from their tombs.
St. Peter 1. is admitting the saved, who include a pope and a bishop, to
the gate of paradise, while clevils r. are driving the lost into the jaws of
helh Hatching is sparingly used. The folds of the drapery are angular.
The border is single.

[272 x 192.] The impression has been taken by friction in grey ink. The paper
has been torn in many places and is slightly worm-eaten. Margin [4-8] uncoloured.
Colours : crimson lake, green, pale yellow, pale brown, black. The gummy varnish
applied to the crimson has cracked and in some places flaked off, taking the colour
with it.

There are several German MS. inscriptions, for tlie most part illegible, in at least
three different hands. Over the head of Christ are tlie words, Jungstcig ist Iwmen.
These are repeated lower down. On either side of tlie hands of Christ are the words,
Her Jacob (?) libri possessor, which show that the cut was formerly pasted in the
cover of a book. The supposed date, 1499, cannot actually be read in that way.

Purchased at the Weigel sale, 1872.
