Formerly the property of James May, 'Captain Slow' of 'Top Gear' and 'The Grand Tour' fame; featured in 'Classic Bike' magazine1970 Honda CB750Registration no. TUX 97HFrame no. CB750-1027653Engine no. CB750E-1027879•Very early example•Delivered new in France•Purchased by James May in 2013•Present ownership since 2018This early Honda CB750 was purchased by James May in August 2013 from marque specialist David Silver, who had sourced it from France, and was the subject of an article written by James for Classic Bike magazine (Why a Honda CB750 Will Make You Happy, October 2013 edition, copy on file).In his article James explains the difficulties of precisely determining the model's identity:'The true K0 was a very short-lived transition model (just 121 examples were made) between the first so-called 'sand-cast' engine bikes... and the subsequent improved K1.'So my bike has the chunky, fluted side panels, an unpainted front caliper, and the baffling slider on the left bar that changes the function of the switchgear button from horn to flasher...'However, this machine has several features characteristic of the improved K1 introduced late in 1970, including the pressure-die-cast engine finish, while the frame number places it in the first batch produced: too early for a K0 and too early for the French market. Further research may prove to be enlightening.Our vendor purchased the Honda on 19th May 2018 (bill of sale on file). Also in the file is an advertisement from Motorcycles Unlimited detailing the machine's French-market features including: extra lighting cut off switch to left handlebar; rear reflector numberplate holder; right-hand light switch with parking light facility; and longer baffles in the exhaust.

One of only 34 made 1949 Vincent 998cc Black Lightning Series-C Frame no. RC5130C (see text) Rear frame no. RC5130 Engine no. F10AB/1C/3230 Crankcase mating no. BB98 / BB98 •The 14th production Black Lightning produced •One of two delivered new to Poland •Ordered for sidecar racing •Raced successfully in Poland by Tomasz KamiÅ„ski •Brought back to the UK in 1972 •Present ownership since 1976 •Professionally restored circa 1999/2000 and unused since •'Barn find' condition for recommissioning/restoration At a time when almost all major motorcycle manufacturers offer 1,000cc superbikes of broadly similar performance, it is hard to imagine the status enjoyed by the big Vincent v-twin in its 1940/50s heyday. This was a time when the average family saloon was barely capable of reaching 70mph, and not until the arrival of Jaguar's XK120 was there a production sports car that could live with the thundering v-twins from Stevenage. With a top speed approaching 120mph and bettering it in the Black Shadow's case, the Vincent v-twin was quite simply the fastest production road vehicle of its day. At the pinnacle of Vincent production sat the Black Lightning: a competition model produced in limited numbers and affordable only by enthusiasts with the deepest of pockets. It is also notable as one of very few motorcycles immortalised in song: by folk/rock hero Richard Thompson (Vincent Black Lightning). It was Rollie Free's capture of the 'world's fastest production motorcycle' record in 1948 on a tuned Series-B Black Shadow that led directly to Vincent marketing a racer of similar specification to Free's machine: the Black Lightning. His motorcycles' design innovation and engineering excellence notwithstanding, Philip Vincent well understood that it was performance that grabbed the headlines and stimulated sales. Season-long racing was prohibitively expensive but a one-off speed record attempt was more affordable, and the latter was the obvious choice for cash-strapped Vincent, all the more so because it was already producing the world's fastest production vehicle (both two and four wheeled): the Black Shadow. The most famous and spectacular Vincent record attempt is that undertaken by Free, who rode multi-millionaire oilman John Edgar's special factory-prepared Black Shadow to a speed of over 150mph on the Bonneville salt flats in Utah in 1948, the first time that an un-supercharged motorcycle had surpassed that figure. The photograph of Free, lying prone on the Vincent wearing only swimming trunks and running shoes, is one of motorcycling's most reproduced images. To enable Free to reach 150mph, the power of the Shadow engine ('1B/900') had been boosted from 55 to around 70bhp by means of - amongst other things - a raised compression ratio, Mark II (Lightning) cams, Amal TT carburettors, and 2'-diameter, straight-through exhaust pipes, all of which found their way on to the production Black Lightning. First exhibited at the 1948 Earls Court Show, the Lightning came equipped for racing with rev counter, alloy wheel rims, Elektron (magnesium alloy) brake plates, and a gearbox modified for quicker changes. For many years it had been assumed that around 20 examples of this, the ultimate Vincent v-twin, had been built between 1948 and the end of production in 1955, though more recent research has established that the total was 34 (one with a Series D engine), while a further half-dozen-or-so engines were supplied for use in racing cars. This Vincent Black Lightning is one of a pair (the other being '4652/2752') despatched to Poland towards the end of 1949. Factory records show '4652/2752' being delivered on 15th November 1949 and this machine exactly 14 days later. This was a time when the ruling communist authorities in the Eastern Bloc states controlled almost every aspect of daily life; private citizens were not allowed to import goods for their own consumption – much less complete motorcycles – so the brace of Vincents was ordered by the Centrala Handlowa Przemyslu Motoryzacyjnego Motozbyt (Commercial Headquarters of the Automotive Industry Motozbyt or CHPM for short). The 13th and 14th production Black Lightnings produced, the two CHPM machines were intended for sidecar racing; the one offered here is the 14th, CHPM No. 2. The accompanying photocopy Works Order Form shows that this machine was built with Girdraulic forks; Amal TT10 racing carburettors; 280km/h speedometer; straight-through exhaust; racing mudguards; 52T and 56T sidecar-gearing rear sprockets; and a Lucas KVFTT magneto, and was delivered without lights or a horn. The Black Lightning was tested by 'CJW', believed to be Works Manager Jack Williams, father of Peter. Engine builder Denis Minett's famous notebook records that the Black Lightning also had sidecar mounting brackets and sidecar springs fitted (see extract on file). Fast forward 20-plus years and we find Vincent Owners' Club member Ian Harper touring the Eastern Bloc in 1971 on his 'Green Meanie' special. While in Warsaw, Ian met two motorcycle enthusiasts, Andrzej and Woyciech Echilczuk, who told him that they knew of a Vincent somewhere in the city. It turned out to be one of the 'Polish Lightnings' (that offered here) and little more than a year later the brothers had tracked down the second ('4652/2752'). Ian ended up making two separate trips to bring the Black Lightnings back to the UK. The two Vincents were brought back dismantled, this one having been classed as 'scrap' by the engineer charged with issuing the necessary export paperwork (copy on file), while a little subterfuge was employed to bring '4652/2752' safely back home. It should be noted that this report (dated 19th August 1972) records the frame number as 'RC5130', not 'RC5130C' as it is now. The full story of the retrieval of the Polish Lightnings was published in MPH (January and February 2012 editions) and also in The Classic MotorCycle magazine (February 2018). Copies of both articles are on file. According to the Echilczuk brothers, this Black Lightning had been raced with considerable success by Tomasz KamiÅ„ski between 1950 and 1954 when it was taken over by one Branecki. The Vincent was later sold and raced by the privateer Nowacki, passing to someone called Trzcinski before being acquired for Ian Harper by Andrzej Echilczuk from someone called Ankiewicz. Back in the UK, Ian Harper did little to the two Lightnings before selling both to former Vincent factory tester and racer Ted Davis, later the company's Chief Development Engineer. Writing in MPH (December 1982 edition) Davis recalled: 'I actually road tested these two when they were first built and could remember the odd specification: steel rims, touring footrests, wide bars, etc.' Its late owner acquired this Black Lightning from Ted Davis circa 1976. (The other Polish Lightning, '4652/2752', is now in The National Motorcycle Museum.) Correspondence on file shows that marque specialist Bob Culver restored this machine for its late owner circa 1999/2000. We are advised by the VOC Machine Registrar Simon Dinsdale that the headstock fitted presently is of the early type (not the later design that this example would have left the factory with), which has been stamped with the number 'RC5130C' (please note the works record records 'RC5130'). It is not known when this substitution was carried out, although presumably after the Vincent left Poland (see above). For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com.

1986 Ducati 750 F1 MontjuichRegistration no. C739 KJOFrame no. ZDM750M*131*Engine no. DM750L*7502056*With its all-new range of water-cooled, eight-valve twins just over the horizon, Ducati capitalised on the success of its existing 750 F1 model by releasing a series of hand-built, limited edition race replicas: Montjuich, Santamonica and Laguna Seca, the former celebrating the Italian manufacturer's many endurance racing victories at the eponymous circuit in Spanish city of Barcelona. One of the most exotic models ever offered by Ducati, the Montjuich came with an extensively revised engine featuring different crankcases, a strengthened gearbox, larger inlet ports, 'hotter' cams, bigger carburettors, Kokusan ignition, and an extremely loud Verlicchi competition exhaust system. Only 200 were made, all in 1986 (20 allocated to the USA. The Montjuich was one of the most exclusive motorcycles of its time and is highly prized by Ducati collectors. Currently displaying a total of 3,812 miles on the odometer, this beautiful Montjuich was imported by Three Cross (Imports) Ltd in 1986, as confirmed by their letter on file. First registered in March 1990, the Ducati was purchased in the early 1990s by the late owner, who is its first registered keeper in the UK. Used sparingly since acquisition, the machine will require recommissioning before it returns to the road (the engine turns over and the gears engage). Offered with an expired MoT (1990-1991); the early 1990s purchase receipt: and old/current V5C registration documents.

Ex-works; H J 'Bert' Bacon 1930 Senior TT; Les Newman 1934 Senior Manx Grand Prix1930 Sunbeam 500cc Model 90 Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. GH 4181Frame no. 8217Engine no. NN4067•Known ownership history•Present ownership since 2009•Recently been fitted with close-ratio gears and an Arias forged piston•Comprehensive history file•Well documented•'Goes as well as it looks'According to the continuation old-style logbook on file (issued January 1938) 'GH 4184' was first registered on 23rd July 1930 (just less than a month after the TT). The Sunbeam was taxed from March 1938 and the final entry is dated December 1941. The aforementioned logbook lists owners in the Bristol area: Jack Cooper was the recorded keeper 1938-1941, while in June '41 the Sunbeam passes to James Powell before being acquired by John Norris of Southampton the following month. In September 1945 Thomas 'Nigel' Seymour Smith became the new owner. (It should be noted that the logbook and consequently the V5C documents omit the frame number's last digit.)This Model 90 is pictured in The Motor Cycle's TT Report edition of 26th June 1930 (copy on file). 'GH 4184' was one of the five works entries for the 1930 Senior TT and was ridden by gentleman racer H J 'Bertie' Bacon to 11th place. The Sunbeam was later was sold to L C Newman, who rode it at the 1934 Manx GP. The machine was ridden at the TT with Druid-type forks and at the Manx with the Webb type (both sets are still with it).There are no factory records identifying the numbers of the frame and engine allocated to Bacon for the TT. However, the bike does have the unique frame and TT tanks that mark it out as a works machine. Unique identifying features of the factory bikes include a foot-change gearbox; scalloped frame lugs; TT left-fill oil tank; and TT extra-wide fuel tank with quick filler. The Sunbeam is currently fitted with a slightly later Amal 89, but a correct M90 stamped '29/001' is included in the sale. It has recently been fitted with close-ratio gears from Chris Odling, plus an Arias forged piston.In terms of paperwork, there is a folder that came with the Sunbeam when purchased, which contains photographs and copies of interesting correspondence. The Model 90 came to our vendor from Thomas Davis of Wotton-Under-Edge via Richard Jones. The buff logbook ties this machine to Nigel Seymour Smith (TT rider, motorcycle collector and lifelong VOC member) and there is a copy of a letter from Les Newman to him where Newman states the Sunbeam is Bacon's. There is also a period tankard awarded to Newman for his performance at the MGP. The Marston club know 'GH 4184' well, and it is usually referred to at the Bacon or Newman bike. The file also contains photographs of Smith on the bike alongside 'Titch' Allen, and one of Newman when he was reunited with it some years later.There is also a copy of another letter from Graham Walker, dated 4th July 1934, telling Newman the price and condition of the Bacon bike: 'I have now heard from Bacon who tells me the price of his machine is somewhere between £38 and £40.' A letter dated 14th August 1988 from Newman to Tom Davis (referencing Nigel) requests a story he had published. This letter recounts the finish of the MGP, stating that the piston rings were broken, and also references Graham Walker (which establishes the connection between the two). Newman's original album of images comes with the machine, including some of the Model 95 he replaced the 90 with in 1935. Another letter, dated September 1934, from Burt Bacon to Les Newman passes on his congratulations. Another letter from Les to Nigel Seymour Smith, dated 1986, states he sold the bike to Harry Prior, and when he (Harry) was called up, his parents sold it assuming he would not come back alive! Newman's story on file recounts how he bought the bike, etc.Spares offered with the machine include the later forks used by Newman; a correct M90 stamped '29/001' Amal carburettor; an early type drum/sprocket believed as used by the TT bikes; and a rare short gearbox main-shaft plus dished engine sprocket from Bill Page; they were only used on the race gearboxes without kickstart. There is also a couple of award tankards and a 1930 TT Programme. Other documents are listed below:•Photocopy of a letter dated 15/9/34 from someone who recorded the lap times for Les Newman (we know that the person lived at 91 Pslater Lane, Sheffield, but it's not been possible to positively identify them)•Page 380 of The Motor Cycle 20th September 1934 listing the results•Large file of invoices•Correspondence from Bert Bacon's son Graham Bacon•Old MoTs•Old/current V5C documentsAn older restoration, the Sunbeam is reported to go as well as it looks (easy starting, easy gear change) and has been ridden at numerous events while in the vendor's ownership. In 2008 the Model 90 was ridden up the test hill at the '100 Years of Brooklands' celebration. It has also been ridden in other Brooklands events; on the Banbury Run; and at the Marston Sunbeam Club's Centenary Rally in 2012. The machine was last started in March 2024 and last ridden on the road in 2022.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1991 Ducati 851Registration no. D2 SMOFrame no. ZDM851S3*003105*Engine no. obscured (003362 to V5C)•Present ownership since August 2000•Three former keepers•Used sparingly•16,746 miles recordedOne of the most influential motorcycles of recent times, the Ducati 851 Superbike restored the fortunes of the Italian company and paved the way for a highly successful family of superbikes, the final (pre-Panigale) example being the 1098 of 2007. In developing the original 851 Desmoquattro, engineer Massimo Bordi created one of the finest motorcycle power plants ever. By the mid-1980s, Ducati's existing air-cooled Desmodue twins were approaching the end of their development, so Bordi started with a clean sheet in creating their water-cooled, 8-valve, fuel-injected successor. Ducati's trademark desmodromic valve actuation system, which closes the valves mechanically rather than relying on springs, was retained, as was the 90-degree angle between the cylinders. Wrapped around this outstanding Desmoquattro engine was a frame, consisting of an intricate trellis of straight tubes, whose design would become a Ducati trademark. Only one paint scheme was available at first: silver-grey frame with bodywork in the Italian national colours of red/white/green, hence these models' Tricolore sobriquet.Riding the factory prototype, Marco Lucchinelli had won the Battle of The Twins (BoTT) race at Daytona in March 1987, and Ducati then spent the rest of the season on development prior to the production version's launch at the Milan Show in November. Two models were available initially: the 851 Strada and 851 Superbike Kit, the latter being the first of many limited edition 'homologation specials' produced to satisfy World Superbike Championship requirements. From the vendor: ''D2 SMO' was bought 15 years ago to replace my 175cc D7 Bantam so a vast difference in performance was noticeable! It was purchased in Northamptonshire and, being supplied by Baines Racing in Silverstone, had not travelled far. It was serviced by Ducati John and used for a few more years, taken on holiday around Europe several times and a few trips up to the Manx GP. It lived in my front room for several years until 'her indoors' moved in.....'Apparently retaining its original factory paint, the Ducati has been used sparingly during the present ownership and currently displays a total of 16,746 miles on the odometer. A Micron exhaust is fitted (original included). The Ducati is only being sold to purchase a Morgan, and following a thorough service should be good for another 30 years. The machine is offered with a copy spare parts catalogue; owner's manual; some old MoTs (most recent expired 2011); an old-style V5C; Ducati John Service Report and invoice (2008); old purchase invoices; Baines Racing invoice; and various other bills. Two keys present.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Formerly the property of the late Jeff Clew1929 Velocette 415cc Speedway Model Re-creationEngine no. KDT149•Only 21 KDT's were built•Formerly owned by the late Jeff Clew•Displayed at the renowned Haynes International Motor MuseumAmong the rarest of all speedway (or dirt track) racing motorcycles is the Velocette KDT, only 21 of which were made by Veloce Ltd in 1929. Developed with the clandestine assistance of Jack Parker, then contracted to BSA, Veloce's speedway model handled well but suffered a disadvantage because at 415cc its engine capacity was 85cc less than that of its rivals. (Veloce did not make a 500cc model at that time).The project to recreate this speedway Velocette began over 40 years ago when Jeff Clew swapped a bundle of magazines for a completely dismantled 415cc KDT engine belonging to former VMCC President, the late Eric Thompson. It had been fitted to a speedway model that left the factory on 29th September 1929 destined for Hubert 'Bert' Clayton of Huddersfield to race at Halifax's Thrum Hall track.Bearing the number prefix 'KDT', the engine is basically an over-bored 348cc KTT unit, the cylinder bore having been opened up to 80mm from its original 74mm. It runs on methanol and has a compression ratio of 10.25:1, and does not need the KTT's cam box oil return pump because speedway races were (and still are) of short duration. The combined petrol/oil tank necessitates long oil lines to the pump in the crankcase as the engine has a dry sump lubrication system. The gearbox is a Velocette three-speed type of the same year, acting as a countershaft to permit the use of a clutch. It has no kick-starter or gear change mechanism. Currently, the 'box is locked in second gear for demonstrations other than on a track. Changing the gear ratio to suit track sizes and conditions is facilitated by Velocette's trademark outboard final drive sprocket.Jeff installed the reassembled engine in a 1929 Velocette KSS chassis at first and ran the bike in Vintage sprints before undertaking the re-creation. Finding an original dirt track frame proved impossible so a copy was made by grass track champion, Lew Coffin. Lew modified the frame of a 1927 KSS using a drawing, originally published in the 7th August 1929 edition of Motor Cycling, which was supplied by the late Bob Currie. Note the additional but unusual 'dog leg' lower chain stays and the way in which the saddle tube slants backwards to the rear of the gearbox mount. Additional plates under the gearbox give the rear engine plates greater rigidity.Owned and built by Jeff Clew, the Velo was last ridden by him with other Vintage speedway bikes to celebrate Exeter Speedway's 60th Anniversary in 1989. Fitted temporarily with braked wheels, it was also ridden in a Vintage motorcycle parade at Mallory Park by Jack Parker of Belle Vue Speedway fame, who had assisted Harold Willis, Veloce's Development Engineer, with the design of the speedway model's cycle parts.Offered at the Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale in 2012 (Lot 318), the current vendor purchased it and returned it to the Haynes International Motor Museum where it was part of the display which featured the world renowned Forshaw Speedway Collection, it had been previously on display before the auction in 2012 whilst in the ownership of the Clew family, this wonderful re-creation of a rare Velocette competition model is offered with a substantial quantity of correspondence, various period photographs (including some of Bert Clayton on 'KDT 149'), assorted press cuttings, frame geometry drawings and a copy of Jeff Clew's own article about the machine published in Off Road Review (issue 92).Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1984 Honda CB1100RRegistration no. A133 VUCFrame no. SC08 2100292Engine no. SC05E-2200415Ridden by stars such as Ron Haslam, Wayne Gardner and Roger Marshall, the works Honda CB1100R production racers thrilled British racegoers throughout the early 1980s. In effect a limited edition 'homologation special' based on the road-going CB900F, the racer-on-the-road CB1100R was the RC30 of its day and priced accordingly. Honda UK initially ordered only 100, with deliveries commencing in November 1980, and sold the CB1100R for £3,700. That might seem cheap today but you could buy a new CB900FZ for £1,999 at the time! It's not surprising that the CB1100R sold in correspondingly small numbers, mainly to race teams and wealthy enthusiasts, and today this exclusive model is increasingly sought after by collectors. Over a three year period (1981-1983) approximately 4,050 were completed, making the CB1100R an extremely rare model by Honda standards.Offered here is an example of the final CB1100RD version. Built during 1983 and first registered on 11th June 1984, 'A133 VUC' has had only three owners from new: the first from 1984-1985, covering approximately 5,100 miles; the second from 1985-2016, purchased from Wheels International of Hockliffe on 4th May 1985 and covering an average of 1,600 miles a year during his time riding it; and our vendor from 2016 onwards, spending the last 7 years of its life in climate controlled storage. It last ran in 1999. The recorded mileage of 27,606 appears to be genuine, and the motorcycle seems to be largely unmolested. Accompanying paperwork includes the original service booklet; 1985 purchase invoice; five old MoT certificates; a quantity of service and repair invoices; a photocopy of an old-style V5 registration document; and a V5C document. Re-commissioning is advised before further use.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 21 April starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Master Of Delft -Die mensche. Scriptura / Description: Scriptura and man : A man kneeling. A woman looks into the book, behind her a bookcase. She is the personification of the Scriptura, of the Bible. Christ as Salvator Mundi appears in heaven. (Banderolles with the text still upside down, that was not the case in later editions...) This is a full page incunabula woodcut, in fact the first and title woodcut of a very rare and early edition of Ludolphus de Saxonia, "Dat Boeck vanden leven ons lief heeren Ihesu Christi". This woodcut is discussed by Prof. Henri Defour in his article 'story of the woodcuts from the Ludolphus editions' DBNL 24/2017. The history of the woodcuts is very complicated, see an extract under 'literature'. It belongs to the very rare first edition or an earlier work that has not survived as described below. The fresh impression still with complete intact borderlines also emphasizes that fact. / Dimensions: 17,50 x 14,5 cm / Condition: Excellent impression with unbroken woodcut borderlines tipped with borders on a support sheet. Nice period hand coloring. Gothic Dutch letterpress on the backside in two columns. / Literature: Prof. Henri Defoer, history of the woodcuts from the Ludolphus editions. ( Jaarboek voor Nederlandse boekgeschiedenis 24/2017)… Ina Kok is of the opinion that an earlier edition preceded Leeu's edition of 'tBoeck vanden Leven ons lief heeren Jhesu Christi of 3 November 1487, which has not been preserved. She assumes that on the basis of the similarity of the second title woodcut with Mensch and Scriptura in the above edition with the title woodcuts in a two-part passionael, consisting of a winter and a summer piece, which appeared on 1 March 1487 in Delft by Jacob Janszoon van der Meer (ilc 1510, see figures 7 and 8) The maker of these woodcuts has been given the 'Second Delft Woodcutter' by Conway as an emergency name. The title page of both volumes shows a female figure sitting behind a lectern, with a bookcase full of books behind her. Before her kneels a man, looking up to Christ appearing in the sky in a mandorla. Above the woman floats a banderole with the text upside down: Dat Passionael, and above the man a banderole with the words upside down on one side: Summer stuck and the other time: Winter stuck. The Delft printer also used the same woodcut for his edition of the short redaction of the life of Christ by Ludolphus de Saxonia, which came off the press on 22 May 1488 (ilc 1504) There the words scriptura and die mensche can be read in the bands respectively. These words make sense here, since the text of the book largely consists of a dialogue between scriptura and die mensche. This indicates that the woodcut was originally cut for an edition of the Life of Christ by Ludolphus de Saxonia and must therefore be older than 1 March 1487, the publication date of the two-volume passionael. No copies of this earlier (probably also) Delft edition have survived, nor of the early edition by Gheraert Leeu, which Kok presumes....... The stylistic affinity between the paintings of the Master of Virgo inter Virgines and the woodcuts of the Second Delft Master is so great that it is generally assumed that he was the designer of the woodcuts of the Second Delft Master It can be concluded from this that the Second Delft Master is most likely identical with the Master of the Virgo inter Virgines.......( The Master of the Virgo inter Virgines was an Early Netherlandish painter and designer of woodcuts active around Delft between 1483 and 1498. He is named for The Virgin and Child with Four Holy Virgins, an altarpiece of the Virgin with Saints Catherine, Cecilia, Ursula, and Barbara which formerly hung in the convent of Konigsveld, but which is now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.) / Medium: Colored woodcut /Circa: Pre 1487 280

This is a full page incunabula woodcut, from a very early edition of Ludolphus de Saxonia, "Dat Boeck vanden leven ons lief heeren Ihesu Christi".

"Whether that a bell be hangyd or lye on grounde, If vnto the same a clapper lacke or fayle, The bell shall make but sympyll noyse or sounde, Though thou in it do hange a Foxys tayle, Right so backbyters that vse on men to rayle, Can nat greatly hurt them that lyue rightwysly, Wherfore it is foly theyr babblynge to set by." Woodcut made by the young Albrecht Durer in 1494 for Sebastian Brant's Stultifera navis - Das Narrenshiff. The Basel humanist Sebastian Brant described the sea journey of fools (representing the follies of human weakness and vice) to "Naragonia" the paradise of fools. The fine woodcut is the one commissioned for the first edition (in German) of 1494. This is one of the 75 of the 112 woodcuts now attributed to Dürer, who resided in Basel for a few months in 1494.

These images were calculated to appeal to the taste for classical antiquity that fueled the cultural event we call the Renaissance. After Lafreri published a title page in the mid-1570s, collections of these prints came to be known as the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae, the "Mirror of Roman Magnificence." Tourists and other collectors who bought prints from Lafreri made their own selections and had them individually bound.
