Meder 225 a-b; Schoch, Mende, Scherbaum 138, with three tiny breaks in
the bottom borderline but before the break in the mountains and the upper
borderline.
Provenance:
Unidentified circular institutional stamp in blue on verso
A fine, even impression, rich but not over-inked, still with pronounced relief on the verso, a filet of paper outside the borderline. A small, very skillfully repaired short tear in lower left corner, a reinforced thin spot upper left (causing a very minor surface unevenness), otherwise in very good condition. 213 x 143mm
In this delightful woodcut Durer gives us very much a heraldic and fairy-tale St. George, of the sort which in modern times could not survive the sanctity test.
