Gebetbuch von Jakob Faber für Kurfürst August von Sachsen
A hand-coloured prayer book made in 1556 for Elector August of Saxony, with woodcut illustrations printed and coloured by hand, now held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures show Passion scenes, a kneeling crowned ruler at prayer, and an interior with a window, offering designers a clear model of devotional woodcut composition with saturated hand-applied colour.
