528 Early German and Flemish Woodcuts.—Part II.
attributed by Eeimers (no. 36) to Flotner. Domanig (p. 5, note 1) calls it a copy from
Burgkmair, and Lange (p. 27) says that it has nothing to do with Flotner. The facts
are these. The block of the woodcut in question is extant in the Derschau collection
at Berlin. The initials HB were inserted, at some date subsequent to 1534, in the r.
upper corner (1. side in the impression), and the spurious second state thus created was
described by Bartsch (vii, 221, 70) as a work of Burgkmair’s and reprinted by Becker
(Gotha, 1810) as B 30. The style has no resemblance whatever to Burgkmair’s, and I
see no reason to doubt tliat Eeimers 36 belongs, with the otlier illustrations of the
book, to Flotner The architecture is quite in his taste, and the man standing to 1.
may be compared witli a similar figure in Eeimers 39. The true facts about the
attribution to Burgkmair are given by Eeimers, p. 37. The inserted piece containing
the initials is made, he says, of iron.

Tlie numerous illustrations to this book are by Flotner, though they were not
published till after his death. They are partly adapted from Serlio and the Como
edition of 'Vitruvius. See Eeimers, pp. 36-44, 107-110, nos. 41-49, and Lange,
pp. 29-38. The cuts are partly the same as in the following hook, but many,
including all tlie landscape subjects, with diagrams explaining the use of mathematical
instruments for measuring, are peculiar to the work on Perspective.
