DRESSED PRINT.

(Germany 18th century) A single printed sheet, framed in cloth, measuring 8 by 10 inches. An engraved scene of Christ being tied and nailed to the Cross, surrounded by his followers, onlookers, military personnel, and various other figures. Portions of the printed illustration have been carefully excised and substituted with various fabrics in brilliant colors to form, in most instances, the clothing of the figures in the scene. The engraving itself is circa 1590, while the fabrics date from the 1740s. Generally, these dressed prints were created for the German aristocracy. A couple of unobtrusive wormholes and a faint dampstain to lower margin, else about fine.
