Beautiful print in old colour with text on the back, slight uniform yellowing, missing piece in the top margin, three tears in the bottom margin which were previously reinforced.

Reference: Nagler 1858-79 III.896

The typographical text on the prints identifies it as an illustration for one of Geiler's 'Predigt' books, most likely the "Brösamlein von des hochgelerten Keiserpergs tisch so er in vil malen pepredigt hatt" published in Strasbourg by Grüninger in 1517 .

It seems that most of the woodcuts were already used in other publications printed by Grüninger from 1510, such as the Plenarium (1510) or Geiler's sermons on the Virgin (1512).


Painter and draftsman of woodcuts, Hans Franck was active in Basel between 1505 and 1522. A contemporary of Urs Graf, he accompanied him in numerous mercenary campaigns, including the battle of Novara in 1515. He worked in Basel mainly as a painter wall.
