[QUOTE="Ex Libris, post: 9430962, member: 14916"]On an online auction I bought two albums with woodcuts that seem all German or Swiss and from the period of 1490 to 1600 (as far as I can see now). Maybe it is fun to post the progress I make on researching the albums here on this forum. I did some research on the photo's in de advertisement and decided I am going to research all the woodcuts and the binding to see what information it contains, because the first findings are spectacular! I expect this will be a long thread. According to the advertisement the albums are bound in old bindings and contain about 335 (!) woodcuts. At the time I write this post I can judge this only from the online photo's that were provides by the seller. I will make better photo's when the books arrive. The advertisement: [ATTACH=full]435538[/ATTACH] The bindings seem to be both 16th century to me. The white one (pigskin) seems around 1500-1525 and the red one 1525-1550.
