XVITH CENTURY BOOKS
101
Contains 53 cuts in all, being 12 more than in the first edition. These
additional cuts, presumably by the original hand, first appeared in this year
(1547) either in the present edition or in its French counterpart, and comprise
the following subjects, commencing on c6 verso: — The Soldier, Gamblers,
Drunkards, Fool, Robber, Blind man, Carter, Beggar-cripple, and 4 cuts of chil-
dren. These exquisite cuts or rather wood-engravings were executed after the
designs of Holbein by Hans Liitzelburger called Franck whose monogram HL
occurs in the cut of the Duchess on C4 vo. On D6 commences Medicina Animae,
followed by pieces by SS. Cyprian & Chrysostom. Good copy, only 2 or 3 cuts
touched by colour.
124 Holbein, Hans. Imagines mortis. His access. Epigrammata ... etc.
Coloniae ap. haeredes Arn. Birckmanni, 1567. 8VO. With 53 fine
woodcuts after Holbein. 96 leaves (last blank). Fine original binding,
stamped pigskin (rubbed). Frs. 400.—
The 53 fine woodcuts are close but reversed copies of Holbein’s origi-
nals but are also larger in size. Five of the present cuts (The Abbess, Bs; the
Canon, Bs; the Justice, B3 vo; the old man, B7; the blind man Dx) have the
engraver’s monogram AS., i. e. Anton Sylvius or Bosche, a prolific artist,
often confused with an inferior engraver (A) of the same period and also em-
ployed by Plantin. The French king (A6 v.) who in the original editions was
intended for Francois I, now probably represents Henri II.
Only 2 cuts very slightly dam. otherwise very fine copy with splendid
impressions of the cuts.
Copies in such a fine condition and in the original bindings are
of the greatest rarity.
