Depicts scene from Virgil’s Aeneid Chapter III - The Fall of Troy & The Trojans Sail for Italy

From the Sebastian Brandt edition of Virgil's works, 1502, here from the 1517 edition with the woodcut prepared by the Johann Gruninger workshop with a dark rich tone.

Medieval woodcut leaf from the works of Virgil by Sebastian Brandt. This edition is rightly acclaimed for its magnificent series of woodcut illustrations by the anonymous Late Master of the Grüninger Workshop.

Good condition. Later hand colour. Stain to upper top margin (not close to woodcut).

Seller's Story

Having studied at Oxford University in the early 1980s I was lucky enough to learn about the rare book and print trade by scuttling around the markets and auction houses of London at a time when it was still quite possible to discover "that find". Similarly I was able to hone my specialist interests in illustrated Natural History, Mythology and Science, something that I hope is still reflected in the items I offer. The aim is to offer the rare, interesting, unusual, beautiful and strange, from Master Engravings to Exquisite Folios. So at the very least we hope your visit to the site to be a rewarding and enlightening experience! Daniel Good Rare Books
