ST. ANTONY AND ST. SEBASTIAN.
Sehr. 1232; W. u. Z. 151. W.-D 75.
St. Antony, in monastic dress with a hood over his head, stands 1.
facing shghtly r. He holds in his r. hand a staff, the top of which is
a Tau cross, while in his 1. hand he holds an open book at the level of his
breast. The little finger of the 1. hand passes through the handle of a
bell. His beads hang from the girdie at his waist. He has a nimbus
with double rim. A pig with a bell round its neck stands r. near his feet.
At the foot of the print is the name aittf)0UtUS3.
St. Sebastian stands r. with both hands bound above his head to a tree,
which is cut short just where its lowest branches spring from the trunk.
His legs are bound just above the ankles to the trunk. He has a wreath
of roses on his brow and a plain nimbus. He has no clothing but a loin-
cloth, and his body and limbs are pierced by thirteen arrows, placed
symmetrically 1. and r. with the odd one in the neck. The ground is
grassy. At the foot of the print is the name SCbSttaUUS. The
drawing is firm but stiff and angular. A little hatching is used in the
modelling of St. Sebastian’s body, but not elsewhere.
[272 x 188 (cut).] Well printed in brown, watery ink. Colours: crimson lake,
carmine, flesh-colour, yellow, light and dark brown, green.
St. Sebastian is in a separate compartment, divided from that which contains
St. Antony by a space of 5 mm. A similar space occurs again r. beyond St. Sebastian,
and it may be conjectured that the block originally held a third saint, perhaps St. Roch,
who would face 1. as St. Antouy faces r., and complete the symmetry. It should be
noticed that the border 1. of St. Antony is wide, as though to mark the extreme limit
of the block on that side, whereas the lines on either side of St. Sebastian are narrow,
as though to mark subordinate divisions.

ST. BARBAEA.
Schr. 1249; W. u. Z. 88 b. W.—D 95.
St. Barbara stands, facing slightly r. wearing a crown surrounded by
a single nimbus, a long robe with a girdle and a mantle. Her long hair
falls down her back. She holds up her mantle with her r. hand. She
holds out her 1. hancl at her side with the palm upwards. Just over it,
inserted, as Schr. has observecl, on a separate piece of wood, is her emblem
a tower, containing chalice and host. A palm-branch springs from the
ground near her feet. Single border. [128 X 82.] This cut is placed
unevenly (too low and too far to 1.) within a passe-partout 24 mm. in
width, with a pattern of acanthus-leaves twining round a rod, in white,
with dark outlines, on a dark ground.
[193 X 138.] Impression produced by frictiou in grey ink. Colours : crimson lake,
grey, pale yellow, green. Margin [6-10] uncoloured. Torn in several places. Water-
rnark: see facsimile, W. u. Z. i,p. 150.

ST. CATHERINE.
Schr. 1321; W. u. Z. 88 a. W.—D 97.
St. Catherine stands, facing slightly 1, wearing a crown surrounded
by a single nimbus, a long robe with an ornamental belt, and a mantle
