1470s Incunable Leaf from Plutarch's Lives (Rusch)

Item Details

Description

A leaf from Plutarch's Parallel Lives, printed by Adolf Rusch ("the R-Printer"), Strasbourg, circa 1470s. The contents of the leaf include a dedication to Cardinal Francesco Piccolomini and a table of contents. Illustrated with floral designs. Antiqua type. Sight approx. 14" x 9". The glazed frame measures 22 1/2" x 17 1/2".

Vertical and horizontal crease to the leaf, and a little bit of wrinkling from handling. Faint stains to the top and right. Not removed from the frame.
