Notes |
Cut by Faber after a design by Holbein. The strips were used in different combinations. The side strips occur in several impressions, and change places, with either the thistle-ornament, a flower-ornament or an anthemion-border as the upper strip. In most editions the lower segment is composed of this bacchanal-motive, the thistle-border and occasionally the peasant's dance. The initial letter was cut by Master CV. See F. Hieronymus, Basler Buchillustration 1500 bis 1545, exh. cat. Basel 1984, no. 423. C. Müller: Hans Holbein d. J. Die Druckgraphik im Kupferstichkabinett Basel, exh. cat. 1997, nos. 48, 151.c. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
