Other Images:





Etching and engraving, ca. 1620-30, Hollstein 24-27, Fuhring I-76 214-217, Guilmard p. 505. The complete set of four, viz. Water, Earth, Air and Fire. Fine impressions on laid paper, two cut to an octagonal shape outside the oval ornament and signature below, and two trimmed to the oval with the signature on a tab below. The images are fantastic, complex ornamental designs incorporating human, animal, bird and grotesque figures amid foliage and strap work. Rare. Ornaments were an important part of the graphic work of the seventeenth century as they were of the sixteenth, and many of the designs made their way into gold, silver and iron work, furniture and wood carving, ceramics and glass and interior décor.
