A devotional prayer book in Latin printed in 1520 at Augsburg by Siegmund Grimm and Marx Wirsung, meant for private meditation on the life and Passion of Christ. Its pictures are small woodcut scenes set inside ornate framed borders of foliage, birds and grotesque creatures, with bold black-and-white contrast a designer could borrow for framing devices and decorative edging.
