Daniel Hopfer (ca. 1470-1536). 'The Last Judgment'

Iron engr./ etching, 31 x 45 cm, monogrammed in the plate, ca. 1525.

Manuscript text of former owner, Adolph Theodor Gerstäcker, verso (d. 1857). Formerly mounted at upper corners and left margin, sm. piece of the upper right corner detached, but attached to the mount, left upper corner w. piece of tape verso, visible recto, left margin w. 2 attached pieces of tape verso and a sm. tear, smoothed-out central vertical fold, occas. foxing. Still a very good impression on fine laid paper w. unidentified watermark and narrow margins. The mount indicates that this is the 2nd state ("1" in lower margin). Hollstein 20 and Bartsch 15 (the state before the "1" added in lower margin).
