English description:
A rare, sought-after woodcut in decorative color. The title page of Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia depicts Genesis—the creation of the world. The woodcut vividly depicts the creation of heaven, earth, and seas, with fire descending from the sky, as well as the creation of birds, fish, and land animals (including a unicorn). A sailing ship can be seen in the foreground. The Almighty watches over creation from above, along with two archangels in the upper corners. Two strange creatures can be seen in the lower corners. French text. This woodcut was published by Sebastin Munster in 1552. It measures ca. 12 x 16 cm (image) and is in good to fair condition. There is some browning due to age.
