464 Early German and Flemish Woodauts.—Part II.
[88 .x 64.] Old, but not very early impression, slightly cut, coloured yellow and
green in imitatiou of chiaroscuro printing, as seen, for instance, in our impression of
Diirer’s Ulrich Varnhiiler. Watermark, a fortified gate (as Hausmann 9, etc.), of which
only one tower is visible.
Purchased at the Angiolini sale, 1895.
This subject belongs to a series of Apostles, holding keys, of 1521-1522, of which
only two others, St. Andrew, Pauli 891, and St. Peter, Pauli 899, are extant. The block
exists and rnodern impressions occur in Derschau (B 75).
f ST. JAMES THE GREATER, STANDING. 1520. Pauli 901 (as St. Sebald).
(Reproduction.)
Photograph of the impression in the Hofbibliothek, Yienna. One
other is known, at Huremberg.
f ST. JEROME, SEATED, WRITING. Pauli S93.
(Reproduction.)
Photograph of the only known impression, in the Hofbibliothek,
Yienna.
t ST. JEROME, STANDING, WITIi AN OPEN BOOK. Pauli 894.
(Reproduction.)
Photograph of the only known impression, in the Hofbibliothek,
Yienna.
t ST. JEROME, KNEELING. 1521. Pauli 895.
(Reproduction.)
Photograph of the impression of the seconcl state, with the date 1521
inserted, in the Albertina, Yienna.
See Laschitzer, Mittli. d. Ges. f. vervielf. Kunst, 1903, p. 20. Pauli has described
this impreseion inaccurately. The date.1521 is clearly genuine, and inserted in the
block by Beham himself. Such au insertion is contrary to all analogy, but au examina-
tion of the very sharp undated impression in the Hofbibliothek shows that certain lines
had to be cut short to make room for the figure 1. The priority of the undated state is
therefore indisputable.
113. ST. PAUL. Pauli 897 m.
In front of a tree 1., St. Paul, bareheaded, in a mantie, walks to r.
with his r. hand (very badly cut) extended, and a sword, point downward,
in his 1. hand. To r. stands a pilgrim, apparently a woman, in a short
skirt and hooded mantle, holding a staff in the 1. hand and a sealed letter
(St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans) in the r. hand. No signature. Single
border.
The second figure, drawn in an inferior style and on too small a scale,
is not by Beham, but has been inserted in the block, in this second state,
to replace the original messenger, a peasant going away to r. in the back-
ground, drawn by Beham himself.
[111 x 75.] Stained and damaged. On the back is printed the last chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles from a Low German Bible, or New Testament, beginniug “ Ge-
schichte. | de se eme eynen dach bestemmeden, quemen vele | . . . ” and ending,
“. . . frymodicheyt vn’ | vorbaden. | . . . endeder Apostel Geschichte.” (Inall,32 lines
of text.)
