Not on view

This is a reduced copy of a woodcut by Lucantonio that measures 534 x 392 mm (British Museum, London P&D 1927,0614.176). There are miniscule differences that help differentiate the two works. The Met print is on modern paper that is laid down on a sheet with a lengthy inscription in Italian in a 19th century hand.
