Wolfdietrich - Original leaflet from Johann Prüss' Das Heldenbuch

c. 1479

About the Item

Original leaflet from Johann Prüss' 1479 printing of "Das Heldenbuch." The Heldenbücher is the title given to a group of late medieval/early renaissance Germanic manuscripts primarily containing epic poetry. Notable heroes included are Dietrich von Bern, Wolfdietrich, and Ortnit. The earliest surviving manuscript of the Heldenbücher dates from the early 14th century and the first printed versions from the late 15th century. Johann Prüss' print edition is the first of its kind, printed in 1479. The North Carolina Museum of Art holds a copy of the same page in their collection and identifies it as a scene pertaining to Wolfdietrich. The type-face, size, and laid paper used in this leaflet match with other examples from this print series. Frame size: 13.82"H x 10.57" W Image size: 8.5"H x 5.75"W

The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge
By Alfred Benjamin Cole
Located in Middletown, NY
After Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto Copper plate engraving with hand coloring on cream laid paper with the Arms of France watermark (a crown in shield topped by a fleur-de-lys and the letters GR), 22 3/4 x 15 3/4 inches (576 x 400 mm), wide to full margins. Multiple vertical and horizontal creases from folding and rolling; none appear to be particularly hard, there is however some associated cockeling. While there is some minor mat tone visible around the perimeter of the sheet, the extensive handcoloring remains extremely fresh and saturated in the intended areas. There are edge tears at each the right and left sheet edge (outside of the image area) due to an improper effort to mount the sheet to a mat. Otherwise in very good condition with all issues being consistent with age. The print is wrongly titled "The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge...
