Lot Description
[PLANTIN PRESS]. Broadside printing of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Antwerp: Architypographia Plantiniana, n.d. [ca 18th-century?].
Broadside (313 x 466 mm). Printed in red and black within decorative borders; two engraved plates depicting the Crucifixion and the Last Supper. The full sheet uncut.
The Plantin press had a monopoly, granted by the papacy, to print liturgical formularies, including in Spain, for nearly 200 years. Plantin was known for employing numerous engravers to keep up with the vast number of compositions needed. The engraver of the plates in this broadside is an unknown Belgian school engraver. RARE: We trace no copies of this broadside at auction, and trace no copies on OCLC.
Property from the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
