also, appears to be in the same direction as Durer's. The W is
in the middle at bottom, h. 10 : w. 6, 7-8ths. (Bartsch, No. 52.)
7. A Female, armed with a club, assailing another Female, who is
lying naked in the lap of a Satyr, on the left of the print. On the right
is a man, also naked, who endeavours to defend her, with the stem
of a tree, which he has torn up by the roots. The W is at bottom,
near the right foot of the Satyr. This piece is engraved in the same
direction as Durer's print; from which, however, it differs, in having
four birds in the sky, over the fabrics on the left, and two larger
ones, fighting together, on the right; neither of which appear in the
engraving of that artist, h. 12, 5-8ths: w. 8, 3-4ths.
The following piece (No. 48 of Mr. Bartsch's Catalogue) could
not properly be introduced in either of the above three classes.
A young Gentleman, seated by a Lady, who has a small lap-dog.
The letter W is in the middle at bottom, h. 6, 5-8ths : w. 4, 3-8ths.
The same design was engraved by VanMecken. (No. 182.) Bartsch
gives no opinion as to which is the original.
Pieces marked thus : (r>.
The name of the artist, whose engravings bear the above mark,
appears to be very doubtful: Sandrart, Mr. Bartsch informs us,
states only that those initials are said to signify Albert Glockenton.
His style of engraving has great delicacy. The mark upon his
prints is in the middle at bottom.
1. The Nativity, with the Magi approaching, in order that they may
worship the infant Saviour. The first part of the subject is repre-
sented in a ruined fabric, on the left of the print. The three Magi
appear arriving, the one walking after the other, on the right.
w. 13, 3-4ths : h. 5, 3-4ths.
2—13. The Passion of Christ: a set of twelve prints, h. 5, 3-4ths:
w. 4, 1-half. Strutt and some other authors state erroneously, that
these pieces are no other than copies from Schongauer.
