Engraving, circa 1475-80. 166x93 mm; 6 1/2x3 3/4 inches. Coat-of-arms with a lion and flower watermark (Lehrs 33; Briquet 1944, which dates to the mid-1480s). Trimmed on the plate mark with thread margins outside the narrow black border line. A very good impression of this extremely scarce, early engraving with strong contrasts. Bartsch 122.
