ALBRECHT DÜRER The Babylonian Whore.
Woodcut, 1498. 395x282 mm; 15 1/2x11 1/8 inches. A superb, richly-inked proof impression before the 1498 and 1511 text editions, with very strong contrasts and little to no sign of wear, consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Orb with a cross watermark (Meder 53, which he notes for the earliest printings of Dürer's engravings and woodcuts, and dates from 1497 to 1520). From the Apocalypse. Bartsch 73; Meder 177.
