One Hundred Views of the Moon by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi 1/ Moon over Mount Inaba 2/Moon at the gate of Suzaku 3/ Cooling down at the river near Shijo 4/Patrol in the moonlight 5/Moon over the sea near Daimotsu. Color woodblock prints, Japan, 1885 © Nihon no hanga Amsterdam. Exhibition Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, til January 9, 2022. Cologne, Germany,
Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was the last great woodblock artist in the tradition of Japanese ukiyo-e, and the One Hundred Aspects of the Moon is considered his greatest creation. The series brings to life the history and mythology of ancient Japan. In all prints the moon plays a prominent role, sometimes it is clearly visible, sometimes it is referred to only in the beautiful poems of the text cartouches.

Credit: Hans Lützelburger (German, 1495?-1526) after designs by Hans Holbein the Younger (German/Swiss, 1497/8-1543). Images of Death, c. 1526, woodcuts. Details from Creation of Eve and Fall (Temptation of Adam) including canine representation. I am not sure how a dog could be present at the creation of Eve. As seen at the exhibit “Holbein: Capturing Character” at the Morgan Library & Museum @themorganlibrary in New York.

This device at the end of a collection of sermons printed in Nuremberg, 1562 by Christoph Heussler has a decidedly steampunk feel to it!

I couldn’t resist this: Jane Eyre illustrated with woodcuts by the legendary Fritz Eichenberg. Here’s a nice article about Eichenberg’s illustration work.
