Adam and Eve stand under the tree, round which the serpent is
coiled, and Adam takes with his 1. hand the apple which Eve holds in
her 1. hand. Her r. hand is laid on his r. shoulder. Behind them are a
lion and a stag lying down, and a boar whetting its tusks against a tree.
In the foreground 1. a snail ancl a lizard. The spaces between the trees
in the background are black. Single border.
[305 X 243.] Early impression. Margin of 66 mm. below, on whicli are printed
quotations from Genesis in G-erman and the address, “ Zu Nurmberg bey Idans Glaser
brieffmaler zunecbst bey dem Ockssenfelder.” Watermark, a small tower and crown.
Purchased from Messrs. Graves, 1856.
An interesting woodcut, perhaps of the Saxon sckool.
2a. TIIE FALL OF MAN.
Second state. The intervals between the trees, which were black
before, have now been cut away and are white. Eve’s hair, on the 1. side
of her head, has been partly cut away.
[305 x 243.] A much later impression; the block split and mucli worn. Water-
mark, A in a circle.
In the inventory of 1837.
There are two ckiaroscuro impressions, without Glaser’s name, at Berlin, with the
outline block in the second state.
HANS WOLFGANG GLASER.
Perhaps tlie son of Hans Glaser; bnt nothing is known abont
him. For another woodcnt pnblished by him, see p. 360. It is
likely that his activity should be dated after 1550/ but the following
woodcut is placed in this section owing to its relation to Diirer.
3. THE TRINITY.
God the Father, wearing an imperial crown (mitre shape) with a
wreath of vine-leaves round it, supports the cross on which the Son
hangs. The Dove is seen among clouds. To 1. and r. are groups
of angels, carrying the instruments of the Passion. Some of the
angels are copied from Diirer’s woodcut, B. 122. Near the foot of the
cross, within a rainbow, are two cherubs. In a square tablet 1. is the
address, “ Gedruckt zu Nii | rmberg Bey ha | ns Wolff G1 j aser,” cut on
the block.
[1020 x 720.] Good, early impression, printed from eight blocks.
Purckased from Mr. N. Bear, 1903.
There is a late impression at Berlin, with the address removed from the tablet.
At Gotha there is a woodcut of a prodigy, dated 13 March, 1562, published by him.
