Fine, clear impression of very scarce engraving by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) with hand printed titling in fountain pen ink at lower margin decades ago. Originally the block contained only six saints. The two at the right, Saints Otto and Poppo were added, probably in 1517, when Poppo's grave was opened during the visit of the Emperor Maximilian to Trier. It is a mark of the flexibility of woodcut technique that an additional block could be cut and fastened to the original and the whole printed as one.
