368 Early German and Flemish Woodcuts.—Part II.
yellowish paper, with bull’s-head watermnrk, quite uulike that used for the other
sketches, and it is not certain that the eagle is connected with the arms of Stabius.
The other drawings, however, which are on very thin, white paper, are undoubtedly
connected with the woodcut. No. 64 contains separate sketches of a palm-tree and a
single branch of laurel, drawn with the pen in bistre, accompanied bv the words
Palm and lorper in Diirer’s writing. On no. 65 r. we see a slight chalk sketch for
the whole device, as it appears in the r. upper corner of the woodcut, in the same
direction, i.e. with the palm-tree on the 1. side. No. 65 v. contains an outline sketch of
the round wreatli of bay tied with a rihand, the bay-leaves being indicated on the
1. side only; also two separate sketches, one in clialk, one in bistre, .of bay-leaves
curved into the shape which they would take in the wreath.
As in the case of no. 45, no old impressions exist, and new impressions were taken
in 1781 and 18S6.
46a. THE ARMS OP JOHANN STABIUS. B. 166. H. 1915. E. 243.
Another impression.
The edition of 17S1, on yellowish paper. Under the woodcut is the printed inscrip-
tion, “ Tabula ab Alberto Durer ligno incisa, quse in Augustissima Bibliotheca Caes.
Vindobonensi asservatur. m.dcc.lxxxi.”
Bequeathed by Sir A. 'Wollaston Franks, K.C.B., 1897.
There is a third block of the arms of Stabius, of which two impressions are known
to exist, in the Berlin and Munich Cabinets. It was described and reproduced for
the first time in the Zeitschr. f. Biicherzeichen, 1895, v, 8, where it was attributed, on
the authority of Dr. Lippmann, to Diirer. A protest was raised against this attribution
in a later number of the same periodical (v, 33) by E. Doepler. I agree with him in
thinking that the authorship of Diirer is out of the question.
47. THE ABMS OF LORENZ STAIBER. B. 16S. H. 1946. R. 241.
[387 X 317.] A poor impression, from the worn block. Watermark, an escutcheon
with a pile and the letters h s.
In the inventory of 1837.
A duplicate of Diirer, no. 142 (q.v.).
