ALBRECHT DURER (GERMAN, 1471-1528), WOODCUT, IMAGE: H 15 1/2", W 11", "SAMSON KILLING THE LION":Monogrammed in the block; framed.  Reference:  Bartsch 2.  Date when the print being sold was pulled is unknown, but it was pulled from the original block.

Condition

As viewed outside of the frame:  a little foxing; print has had various repairs, tears and small losses all of which are unobtrusive until you look at the print up close and especially shine a light through the back of it; on laid paper; the print has been remounted on a very thin, translucent sheet of paper cut to the same size as the print with the stains that you do not see when looking at the print under normal light but only see when you shine a light through the back probably being just due to the glue that was used to fuse the 2 sheets of paper together; hinge mounted.
