Gletting, Benedict · 1590 · by Vincentz im Hof · 1 picture

A German Reformation-era broadside-style book, printed in 1590 by Vincentz im Hof and credited to Benedict Gletting, retelling the biblical story of Joseph sold into Egypt for a popular German readership. Its single woodcut frame shows a crowd of armed and robed figures gathered in a dense, crosshatched street scene under a black-letter title block, offering a designer a model for compact, text-led woodcut page layouts with a figurative vignette.
