<p>[QUOTE="Ex Libris, post: 9431254, member: 14916"]While I am anxious waiting for the arrival of the albums (next Monday), I want to see if I can tie the print to a specific edition of the book. That is quite hard when a book has many editions, like the Ship of Fools. So I try to look close to reference data. The print in the auction was from a 1511 edition. As you can see in the picture it has a dent in the upper line. That means (I think) it had a crack in the woodblock at that time. In my version the crack isn't there yet, so it must be older (?). Now I can focus on editions before 1511.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]435591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
