Burgkmair the Elder (Hans) and others. 88 woodcuts from 'Der Weiß Kunig', from a set of 235, many by Burgkmair and Leonhard Beck, including 4 duplicates, woodcuts on 18th century laid paper, variant watermarks, without text, trimmed with small margins outside the printed borderline, each sheet approx. 240 x 230 mm (9 1/2 x 9 in), some toning and browning, light occasional foxing, surface dirt, slightly rough edges and soft creasing, loose, unframed, [circa 1514 but printed 1775] (88) *** ''Der Weisskunig' (the white, or wise, king) is the most extensive of Emperor Maximilian's unfinished works. In 1526 Maximilian's grandson, the Archduke Ferdinand, commissioned Treitzsaurwein to complete and publish 'Der Weisskunig', but this plan was frustrated by Treitzsaurwein's death in 1527. It was not until 1775, after the blocks had been found at Graz, that it was published in book form by Hoffstätter in Vienna.' [BM]
