The Resurrection, by Philip Galle (Bast., Holl. 114; Lari 109;
Holl., Galle, 106; Ill. B., vol. 56, p. 138, no. .044)
engraving, circa 1560, Lari's first state (of three), with Cock's address, a remarkably fine and early impression, richly inked and capturing most effectively the tonal varieties of the densely hatched areas, this impression unusually complete in having thread margins or being trimmed on the platemark and thereby retaining the three borderlines beyond the beaded border to which most impressions are so often trimmed, a short tear at the left sheet edge, four tiny wormholes, a few small insignificant spots of surface glue, a nick at the lower right sheet edge, some slight staining, generally in very good condition, laid
P. 462 x 330 mm.
