Woodcut illustration from a 1515 German medical book which sold for €9000 (£7760) in a Reiss & Sohn sale.
It made a record €9000 (£7760) in a Reiss & Sohn (18% buyer’s premium) sale of May 16-18.
This rather unsettling woodcut illustration shown above, an almost surreal depiction of an amputation, is taken from from a 1515, Grüninger of Strasbourg edition of Hieronymous Brunschwig’s Das buch der wund Artzeny. Handwirkung der Cirurgia.
