Vierzig Metallschnitte des XV. Jahrhunderts aus Münchener Privatbesitz
Georg Leidinger's 1908 Strassburg collection reproduces forty fifteenth-century metal engravings from private owners in Munich, aimed at scholars and collectors of early prints. The first picture is a stylised bull's head drawn in heavy outline with a dashed top edge, while the second is an allegorical female figure with wings standing on a pedestal within a scrolled frame, showing how early engravers built compositions from simple contour and ornamental borders.
