who invented the details of the great Triumphal Oar, the drawing for whioh is dated
1518. The Albertina possesses six other drawings by Diirer, dated 15 L8, of riders
carrying trophies, designed to form part of the procession, but never carried out as
woodcuts owing to the abandonment of the scheme on the Emperor’s death.

Two escutcheons, withthe arms of Ebner 1. and Eiirer r., are supported by
child angels or geriii. The date, 1516, is placed between the buffalo horns
of the crest. Two cornucopias, filled with grapes and vine-leaves, fi.ll the
vacant space on either side of the horns; they pass behind the angels and
the escutcheons, and their lower ends are tied together. The background, in
the lower half of the design, is shaded with horizontal lines. On a white
band at the top is the motto, devs . kefvgivm . mevm, and at the bottom,
LIBER . HIERONYMI . EBNER.
[129 X 97.] Good impression, uncoloured, and well preserved, with margiu [5].
Watermark, small “ Reichsapfel,” sliape of Ha. 24, but 83 mm. high. Collector’s mark,
small heraldic device, not iuF.; a single-headed eagle springing fiuma crown, in circle,
dm. 7 mm., printed in pale blue.
In the collection of ex-libris bequeathed by Sir A. Wollaston Franks, K.C.B., 1897.
One of the rarest and best of Diirer’s heraldic woodcuts. It is not signed or other-
wise authenticated, and is not accepted as genuine in any of the cataiogues, except
Passavant’s (no. 211), but Thausing (E.T. ii, 123) attributes it decidedly to Diirer. He
is doubtless right; the ornament, the children’s heads and drapery, the shape of the
letters and figures, are all characteristic of Diirer and unlike the work of any pupil.
Hieronymus Ebner (1477-1532), a member of the ancient and still fiourisliing family
of Ebner von Eschenbach, which had had representatives in the Nurembergcouncilsince
1332, was married in 1501 to Helena Fiirer. See A. Grenser in Heraldisch-geneabgische
Zeitschrift, ii, 135; G. A. Will, “ Niirnbergisches Gelehrten-Lexicon,” 1755, i, 313.
