With the full set of Kerver's "large" metalcut series, as described by Davies. 'This new set is distinguished by its greater freedom from convention in the treatment of the designs, there being an appearance of relief or modelling in comparison with the older cuts: cross-hatching and other forms of shading are introduced' (Davies, p.303). Four of the cuts had previously been used by Pychore and R. de Laistre in 1503. The Crucifixion shows a clear influence of Dürer's Large Passion. Brunet Heures, 186; Lacombe 200.
