GIORGIO GHISI Allegory of Life (The Dream of Raphael).
Engraving, 1561. 380x539 mm; 15x211/4 inches. Probably the fifth state (of 6), with the address of Meysens across the top of the stern of the boat effaced and with the address of Adolffsz lower left on the tablet effaced. The letters IC (?) watermark. Trimmed on or just inside the plate mark. A very good, well-inked impression of this scarce work, printed with clarity and strong contrasts overall, with burr printing from the added drypoint in the upper left corner. Bartsch 67; Lewis 28.
