Description
A very fine Meder c impression, printing with all the fine lines in the wall distinct. With fine contrast and with a delicate plate tone at the lower right and elsewhere. The watermark dating from 1540 to 1550, identifies the print as a "c" Impression. Thread margins, trimmed on the platemark in places. – A small repaired paper loss at the upper left, a small repaired horizontal paper tear at the lower right edge. The lower corners skillfully reinforced on the reverse, otherwise in very good condition.
