Annunciation to the Shepherds

View through Harvard Museums
The woodcut is printed on a sheet of paper that has been folded in quarters, with the woodcut appearing on the front, as if the print were a greeting card. The print is inscribed in pencil "Card 2", which supports this idea. The paper, however, is not of good quality. On an inside edge it bears the printed legend: Warren's library text 25 x 38 - 80 lb. Its perforated edge indicates that the sheet may have been torn from a paper sample book.
