150 Early German and Flemisli Woodcuts.—Part I.
WOODCUT COPIES EROM LINE-EUGRAYINGS OF THE
XV CENTURY.
After Martin Schonoauer.
A 146.
THE TWELVE APOSTLES.
Copies of B. vi, 136, 34-45.
Anonymous copies, in the direction of the originals, printed as a
“ Bilderbogen,” on one sheet, from twelve separate blocks, in three rows
of four each, with the name of the Apostle and the corresponding clause
in the creed, printed from movable type, at tlie foot of each compartment.
The copies are fairly accurate, but poor in execution. They wouid seem
by the style and the character of the type to have been produced in
Alsace after 1500. Schongauer’s signature is not reproduced.
The Apostles have been placed partly in the wrong order, so that the
name does not always correspond with the Apostle under whom it is
placed. The order of the Apostles, as shown by their attributes, is as
follows : Peter, Andrew, James, John, James the Less ( = B. 40, here
called Thomas), Judas Thaddeus (= B. 42, here called James the Less),
Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas (= B. 44, here called Matthew), Simon,
Matthew ( = B. 41, here called Judas Thaddeus), Paul. The last
Apostle is rightly named, but the name of St. Matthias is also introduced
as the author of the last words of the creed, “ Yitam eternam. Amen.”
A narrow band of conventional ornament runs along the bottom of
the sheet. Each cut has a single border line. A title at the head of the
sheet has probably been lost.
[346 x 248 ; eacli Apostle, 89 x 55.] Fair impressions, on grey paper without water-
mark.
Purchased from Messrs. Smith, 1845.
After Israhel van Meckenem.
