Trumpeters, from 'The Triumph of Caesar'

In 1504 Bordon applied for a privilege to protect a set of woodcuts of the 'Triumph of Caesar' which he had designed ... An inscription on one of the woodcuts, dated 13 February 1503 [1504] states that it was cut by Jacob of Strassburg in Venice. See Lilian Armstrong, 'Woodcuts for liturgical books published by LucAntonio Giunta in Venice, 1499-1501'. Word & Image, vol. 17, nos. 1 & 2 (Jan.-June 2001), pp. 65-93. However, see comments by David Landau and Michael Bury in McDonald 2004, pp. 193-4 (The Print Collection of Ferdinand Columbus 1488-1539, London 2004) who suggest that Jacob and Bordon published two separate versions. The MMA version differs from that illustrated by Jean Michel Massing ('The Triumph of Caesar by Bendetto Bordon and Jacobus Argentoratensis. Its Iconography and Influence', Print Quarterly, VII, 1990, pp.4-21) in that it includes stars along the top and text along the bottom. Massing (pp. 7-8) calls the MMA prints the only known impressions of the third edition, when it had been repaired and the Latin text added.
