Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, Vol. 8: October, 1904, to March, 1906 The Petrarch cuts constitute a matchless record of German manners in 1520 the very prolixity of the author's comments on every incident and condition of human life gave a superb opportunity to an illustrator so richly gifted with invention. With animals, plants, landscape, and architecture he was equally successful. He failed to deal so well with loftier themes, and fell back on imitating Diirer when he attempted the Passion. The humour and charm with which he drew life as he saw it, entitle him to a high rank among German artists of the best period.
