About the Item
Gauguin came back to Paris in August 1893 from his first stay in Tahiti, In the luggage numerous drawings and preparatory work for a book designed by him. In collaboration with the writer Charles Morice, parts of the text "NOA NOA" were created in Paris in the winter of 1893-1894. The plan was for a preferred edition with 10 almost identical woodcuts, all of which were made in the winter of 1893-1894. According to the individual proto-prints by Gauguin, the artist left the artist to Louis Roy, who was limited to 25 to 30 copies. The planned book was never realized, only known is the famous manuscript "NOA NOA", now in the Louvre in Paris. In the course of the preparatory work for the new catalog, 15 copies of the Roy prints were still available.

- Die Heimsuchung (from Marienleben)By Albrecht DürerLocated in London, GBThis is one of twenty woodcuts that together comprise The Life of the Virgin, a series on which Dürer worked for some ten years. Seventeen of these woodcuts were finished when the artist left for Italy in 1505. (There they were copied as engravings by Marcantonio Raimondi—much to Dürer’s chagrin.) Dürer finished the last two woodcuts as well as the frontispiece only in 1510. The set was then published in 1511 together with The Large Passion, accompanied by Latin verses written by the Benedictine monk Benedictus Cheledonius. On this occasion Dürer also reissued his Apocalypse series in order to offer his Große Bücher (Great Books...Category
