AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Covers the year 907-912
Includes a battle scene by Holbein and an execution scene by an unknown woodcutter.
Published in 1548.
Wonderful woodcut folio leaf from the exceedingly scarce first edition of the great Stumpf Chronicle, one of the greatest illustrated works of the early to mid 16th Century.
Hans Holbein the Younger, German was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style, and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art, satire, and Reformation propaganda, and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder, an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.
Light even age toning to leaf, commensurate with age. Please view the images carefully.
Seller's Story
Having studied at Oxford University in the early 1980s I was lucky enough to learn about the rare book and print trade by scuttling around the markets and auction houses of London at a time when it was still quite possible to discover "that find". Similarly I was able to hone my specialist interests in illustrated Natural History, Mythology and Science, something that I hope is still reflected in the items I offer.
The aim is to offer the rare, interesting, unusual, beautiful and strange, from Master Engravings to Exquisite Folios. So at the very least we hope your visit to the site to be a rewarding and enlightening experience!
