Triptych: (1-2) "Psalmus XXV". "Initium S. Evengelii Secundum Joannem"

Two fine engravings, handcoloured and heightened with gold, with depiction around a central text, both 24.5 x 14.5 cm, 1st half 18th century, mounted onto wooden panels and uniformly framed in contoured contemporary (?) wooden frames, coated with thin silver, decorative border with scene in relief.

Scenes in acceptable condition with wear to blank margins. Frames with many missing pieces of silver and with worm wholes; (3) Similar printed leaf as (1-2), 24 x 35 cm, in inferior condition, with address Augsburg, J.M. Labhar, 1719, uniformly framed (lacks glass). Together the three frames capture a relatively early example of a canon board, a fine devotional triptych that would have been on the altar during mass. It would have been a very luxurious item at the time of production. (total 3)
