Kool. I've always liked Albrecht Durer. Pittsburgh's Carnegie actually has an extensive collection of his engravings, which I relish. I'll have to keep my eye out for Sichem II. I wonder if Sichem the First did engravings, too, like the Breugels, Younger and Elder. Do own this Bible? Where did you get the scans?
I bought the original page on ebay and scanned it and then had it framed.
