Purchased from Mr. Bihn, 1875.
37. ADAM AND EVE. THE FALL. Pauli 368 ii.
Adam stands to 1. of the tree, Eve to r., taking an apple from the
mouth of the serpent, which is coiled round the trunk.
[26 X 27.] Second state of the block, after the removal of the horizontal shading
from the sky. The block in this state was used in “ Grud vnd vrsach der heiligen
schrifft,” Neuber, Niirnberg (undated).
In the inventory of 1837.
A single subject from a series of 169 little illustrations to the Book of Genesis
(Pauli 359-527), of which only one complete set is known, at Dresden. That set was
printed by Kunigund Herrgottin, widow of Hans Herrgott. A number of the same
cuts were used in “ Grundt vnd vrsach der heyligeu schrifft,” G. Wachter, Nuremberg,
1529 (see p. 442, no. 8).
38. ADAM AND EVE. THE FALL.
P. 172. R. 92. A. 92. S. 82. Pauli 687.
Adam stands to 1. of the tree, and takes an apple with his 1. hand
from the 1. hand of Eve, who takes a second apple with her r. hand from
the serpent, coiled tightly round one of the two stems of the tree. In the
midst of the boughs, above the crossing of the two main stems, is a skull.
A stag lies on the ground L, a parrot sits on a low bough r., and a lizard
creeps towards the trunk of the tree. In the background is a dense
wood.
[344 X 255.] Good impression, but closely cut, especially at the bottom, where
about 3 mm. are wanting ; the border line is spurious. No watermark.
Purchased from Mr. Gutekunst, 1874.
One of the finest and most important of Beham’s woodcuts, and extremely rare.
Only two perfect impressions are known, at Berlin and Nuremberg, belonging to
two different editions. The first (repr. Pauli, Taf. xxxii) was published by
Hans Weigel. Pauli describes nine different copies, of which four are in the same
direction and deceptive. Heller (Diirer) 1959, quoted here by Pauli, is a diff'erent
woodcut, by Springinklee, B. (Diirer) app. 1 (p. 411, no. 80 of this cataloguc).
