Item Overview

Description

WOLGEMUT, Michael Jacob and his sons presented by Jacob to the Pharaoh. Nuremberg Anton Koberger 1491 2 woodcuts on recto and verso, 25,5 x 17, 8 cm, laid paper, unsigned (trimmed just outside borderline). Stuck by upper corners under passe-partout. Very fine, strong impression. Michael Wohlgemut (1434-1519), who is now best known as Dürer's teacher, designed and probably also cut these woodcuts (fol. 18) for the edition of Stephan Fridolin's "Schatzbehalter der wahren Reichtümer des Heils", printed in 1491 by Anton Koberger. The incunable is considered as one of the most beautiful early print projects of the Nuremberg book industry. The book included many full-page woodcuts by Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and would be influential on the development of Dürer's linear woodcut style. The verso side of the woodcut depicts the vision of Daniel. The folio is an original woodcut from the first edition of 1491. Ref. ISTC is00306000. - GW 10329.- Polain(B) 1521.
