Historiated title page border of a collection of Luther's sermons
A woodcut border to a collection of Luther's sermons printed in 1523. The border is comprised of a single woodcut and depicts a forest filled with deer, lions, horses, a unicorn, and a pair of cherubs holding rabbits and a shield (bottom). At the top of the woodcut, a dove with a branch in its mouth sits above a pair of decorative dragons above a frame surrounding the title. The shield held by the cherubs features a cross and "S" symbol, potentially a printer's mark of Johann Schott, that likely plays on the serpentine appearence of the "S" by representing the Cross victorious over the serpent.
