For Father Neil





































On October 14, 1840 The Times of London carried the following notice: "There is at present, in the possession of Mrs. Parker of Golden Square, a copy of Macklin's Bible in forty-five large volumes, illustrated with nearly 7000 engravings from the age of Michael Angelo to that of Reynolds and West. The work also contains about 200 original drawings or vignettes by Loutherbourg. The prints and etchings include the works of Raffaelle, Marc Antonio, Albert Durer, Callot, Rembrandt, and other masters, consisting of representations of nearly every fact, circumstance, and object mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. There are, moreover, designs of trees, plants, flowers, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and insects; such as, besides fossils, have been adduced in proof of the universal Deluge. The most authentic Scripture atlasses are bound up with the volumes. The Bible was the property of the late Mr. Bowyer the publisher, who collected and arranged the engravings, etchings, and drawings at great expense and labour; and he is said to have been engaged for upwards of thirty years in rendering it perfect. It was insured at the Albion Insurance Office for £3000." The Bowyer Bible is now in the Bolton Museum, Lancashire, England. Robert Bowyer (1758-1834) was a miniature-painter and print-publisher, proprietor of the Historic Gallery illustrating Hume's History (founded 1792, collapsed 1807). He also produced the grangerised edition of the Macklin Bible referred to as The Bowyer Bible (1791-5). Thomas Macklin (c.1760 - 1800) was a printseller and publisher. He began his series of “British Poets” in 1787, and the “Macklin Bible” in 1790. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, "[t]he Macklin Bible endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain, often pirated but never rivalled."

On the left the archangel Gabriel approaches the praying Virgin Mary in her bedchamber. Over her head is a dove representing the Holy Spirit, and in the sky above a figure of God the Father. A woodcut made by Albrecht Dürer. German. 1510. This print (without (without text) is from a series of 37 woodcuts by Dürer (“The Small Passion”). It is signed on the block. Dimensions: height: 125 millimetres; width: 96 millimetres. The original woodblock is in the British Museum, London. Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was born in Nuremberg, the son of a successful Hungarian goldsmith. His godfather was Anton Koberger, the leading German publisher of his day, whose best-selling Nuremberg Chronicle of 1494 contained illustrations designed by the painter Michel Wolgemut, with whom Dürer served three years of apprenticeship from 1486-9. During the second half of the 1490s he visited northern Italy, where the works of artists such as Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini had a powerful effect on his artistic development. In 1495, Dürer opened his own workshop in Nuremberg, a wealthy centre of trade which was situated at a focal point within the Holy Roman Empire. He took the radical step of producing high quality prints for an open market, and the first edition of his famous Apocalypse series of woodcuts was published in 1498. Dürer's paintings also display a deep interest in new subjects and Renaissance ideas, particularly his self-portraits of the late 1490s. From 1505 to 1507 he visited Italy again and from 1507 to 1512 he worked on numerous paintings and “The Engraved Passion”. The woodcut series of “The Life of the Virgin”, “The Great Passion” and “The Little Passion” were published in 1511. Dürer's re-vitalisation of printmaking techniques caught the attention of the circle of humanist scholars in Nuremberg, who informed him on the literature and ideals of the Italian Renaissance and advised on subjects that would appeal to the educated élite. His achievements as a printmaker played a key role in the choice of the woodcut medium by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I for his
