Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Broadside, 292 mm. x 160 mm., woodcut image of subject at half-length, 145 mm. x 113 mm., above which three lines letterpress title, below which 19 lines letterpress verse signed And. S. (Andreas Stroph?) The whole within ornamental woodcut border. Printed onto yellow(-painted?) paper, the image with contemporary hand-colouring, a black border applied to edges of the broadside, some bordering appears similarly applied to the woodcut portrait. Pasted onto a page of an unidentified work of German-language theology. Broadside portrait with poem, of the reformer Andreas Sarcerius (1501-1559). The image may be after the woodcut of Martin Brosamer (Hollstein IV 278). A similar “birthday broadside” was published in Eisleben (where he was a superintendent), for the subject aged 55 (OCLC 246601958, copy at Herzog August Bibliothek); Hollstein (loc. cit.) also records a broadside of the subject aged 56. The poem is signed by “And. S.”, who may be Andreas Stroph (see OCLC 258691551). The printer is noted in USTC producing two broadsides, for one of which (Zacharias Praetorius, ‘In imaginem Eridos’, 1556, USTC 751289) there is an image of the extant copy (BSB), hand-coloured and on yellow paper. The other, again location at BSB, was printed in 1580. He may be the Gregor Braun of Wittenberg who published a rare pamphlet of the cartographer Tilemann Stella in 1590 and 1595 (USTC 671177, 671174). Nuremberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Graphisches Sammlung, Mp20744, Mp20749. Not in USTC." Ordered from: Leo Cadogan, D9269, 2018-12-17, Ref: 3327. Purchase made possible by The Professor Emile V. Telle Acquisitions Fund.
