The reverse retains German blackletter religious text specifically discussing the feast of Pfingsten (Pentecost), the Holy Spirit, and Christ’s promise of the Comforter—an unusually fitting text-and-image pairing.
One of a group described by the prior source as old German Luther Bible woodcuts and fragments, circa 1550, including work attributed within the larger group to Jost Amman and others. This individual leaf is offered as an original early German biblical woodcut; its precise edition, date, and artist have not been independently verified. Approx. 5¾ x 4¼ in.
Trimmed Bible leaf/fragment with substantial age toning and brown staining, especially across the upper sky/clouds, central seated figure, and right side. Light foxing, handling wear, and minor edge wear are also present. The detailed Pentecost image and blackletter text remain clear and displayable. Please inspect photographs closely.
