Speculum humanae salvationis
Speculum humanae salvationis is a block-printed illustrated devotional book printed in Utrecht around 1470 by the anonymous Printer of the Speculum, for lay and clerical readers of typological Bible stories. Its pictures are framed in arched Gothic compartments with short Latin captions beneath, and a designer might take the modular panel layout, the paired Old and New Testament scenes, and the crisp woodcut line work as a model for narrative sequencing.
