WOODCUTS IN INCUNABULA PRINTED IN THE LOW COUNTRIES.
Kok, Ina
This four-volume set is a complete census of the woodcuts in Dutch and Flemish incunabula, and a record of all places in which they appear. The first appearance of the woodcut (or series of woodcuts) is registered, as are all repetitions of that woodcut before 1501. It also gives a survey of woodcuts used by different printers. This inventory provides a very accurate dating system for incunabula.
Over 3800 different illustrations have been found in incunabula printed in the Low Countries, which illustrate the history of the use of woodcuts - the different states, the different stages of wear and tear.
Available outside North America from HES & DE GRAAF Publishers.
