(Bartsch, No. 25.)
5. St. Paid. He is represented walking towards the left, having a
sword, with its point towards the ground, in his right hand, and in his
left an open book. This piece, according to Bartsch, is of the
form of an irregular hexagon, h. 7, 1-half: w. at bottom, 4, l-4th.
(Bartsch, No. 28.)
6. The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian. The Saint is attached to a
tree on the left of the print; and about the middle are two execu-
tioners, one of whom is aiming an arrow at his body. On the right
stand two men, habited after the oriental fashion, who appear en-
deavouring to persuade Sebastian to abjure the Christian faith.
This piece, according to Bartsch, is a good deal in the style of
Schongauer. w. 5, 1-half: h. 3, 7-8ths. (Bartsch, No. 30.)
7. An old Woman, with a Goose under her Arm, and a Countryman
carrying a Basket of Eggs. Their steps are directed towards the left.
h. 3, l-4th : w. 2, 3-8ths. (Bartsch, No. 46.)
8. A design, richly ornamented, intended for the upper part of a Ta-
bernacle to enshrine the holy Sacrament. Half way up the plate is
represented the Madonna, with the infant Christ on her left arm,
and above is a naked figure of Christ. The letter W is engraved
on a pillar, underneath the figure of the Madonna, h. 15, 5-8ths:
w. 3, l-4th. (Bartsch, No. 54.)
9. Another design, somewhat resembling the form of a Clock, intended
for the same purpose as the last. No mark. h. 22, 7-8ths: w. at bottom,
5, l-8th. (Bartsch, No. 55.)
10. Another design, intended for the same purpose. No mark. h. 18,
l-4th: w. at bottom, 4, l-4th. (Bartsch, No. 56.)
11. Another similar design. It is also without mark. h.<2,3:w.at
bottom, 4, 5-8ths. (Bartsch, No. 57.)
The following piece, Mr. Bartsch observes, is in a different style
of design, as well as of engraving, from all the above; insomuch
that, although it is marked with a W, he hesitates to ascribe it to
Wenceslas of Olmutz.
