Arg, Blasius · 1551 · bey Michael Lother getruckt · 1 picture

A 1551 German broadsheet-style news pamphlet printed by Michael Lother, written by Blasius Arg, reporting an event of 2 February 1551 in the cathedral of Strasbourg, aimed at a general German-reading public. Its single woodcut shows a kneeling clergyman with arms outstretched before an altar beneath a cross, while robed figures and a seated official flank the scene in a Gothic interior, offering a dense, crisp model for devotional or dramatic tableau compositions with strong figure grouping.
