1493 CHRISTIAN TORURE Book Page Engraving Incunable Schedel NUREMBERG CHRONICLE
Presenting a Well Preserved
C.

Hand Colored
Engraving
Incunable Book Page for your consideration.  I do not know if this woodcut decorated page is from Hartmann Schedel's "NUREMBERG CHRONICLE" but this appears to be the case to us.
Written in German, full sheet size
measures 13" tall X 8 3/8" wide.
The owner who collected this is artist, art professor & art historian Jill McKeever Furst, who taught at the Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia PA for over 10 years.
She also had strong connections to the Penn Museum, not only as a consulting scholar for acquisitions from 1987 on, but also as a frequent lecturer at Maya Weekends.  Often she bought museum de-
acquisitions, hence the superior quality of the artwork items we are listing on eBay at this time.
One side relates to numerology, modern infrastructure technology & the Arabian textile trade.  The language is German.
The other side refers to Christian martyrs, persecution, prisoners & torture
.
And as you note, the condition remains excellent indeed!!  The page remains bright and clean with almost no faults or flaws present really, aside from minor age toning, a few small stains & some gentle rippling as shown.  A single 1/2" tear at bottom, as shown.  Minor margin folds & fraying..
A beautiful water colored engraving illustration adorns one side.  Very, very nice condition and would look fabulous
framed in double sided glass!
Just an amazing and beautifully preserved 500 year old (or so) book page for your auction pleasure indeed!!
Please also see the other well preserved estate incunable book pages that we are making available on eBay at this time.  And shipping is always happily minimized for multiple purchase.
Buyer to prepay for secure 4X flat board s/h. Best of Luck!
