Gletting, Benedict · 1625 · [Jakob Stuber?] · 1 picture

A German devotional songbook printed in 1625, attributed to Benedict Gletting and published in Jakob Stuber's circle, meant for singing hymns at home and in church. The single picture is a crude woodcut of a winged angel in a long robe with a hand raised toward a sprig, beside a hilltop town and a leafy shrub, and a designer could take its bold, hatched line work and simple outlined figure as a model for rough, hand-carved devotional imagery.
