AMMAN, Jost (1539-91) - Three Original Woodcut Plates

This prolific Swiss-German artist was famed for his many woodcut book illustrations. Two original woodcut prints (each trimmed to 2 7/8" X 2½" and paper matted to 12" X 8"), both from the "Sacra Biblia" published by Sigismund Feierabend in Frankfurt in 1571. Each near fine, boldly struck and vivid. One depicts Joshua condemning Achan and the other David ordering the death of the slayer of Saul. Accompanied by a third, larger original woodcut (trimmed to 6" X 4¼" and paper matted to 12" X 8") from an unidentified work. Near fine. Identified in pencil inside matte as "Titus Manlius conquering the giant Gaul," this busy scene depicts a Roman soldier about to slay a prone soldier on a bridge crossing a river as hordes of spear and shield-laden Roman soldiers watch. An evocative trio of 16th century small prints. .
