Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Germany, 1468/69 Apocalypse, block book. Wooden panel prints on paper, colored. Block books are richly illustrated alternatives to early printing with movable type. Despite their seemingly ancient appearance, most of these plate prints were created around the same time or even later than the first incunabula, such as the Gutenberg Bible. The books were produced like woodcut single-sheet prints, only in continuous narrative sequences as a picture-text series. This resulted in text-image compositions like in today's drawing or comic books.
Deutsch: Deutschland, 1468/69 Apokalypse, Blockbuch. Holztafeldrücke auf Papier, koloriert. Blockbücher sind reich bebilderte Alternativen zum Frühdruck mit beweglichen Lettern. Trotzt ihres scheinbar altertümliche Auftritts sind die meisten dieser Tafeldrückwerke etwa zeitlich oder gar später entstanden als die ersten Inkunabeln, wie etwa die Gutenberg-Bibel. Hergestellt wurden die Bücher wie Holzschnitt-Einblattdrucke, nur eben in fortlaufender Erzählfolge als Bild-Text-Serie. Dabei ergaben sich Text-Bild-Kompositionen wie in heutigen Zeichen- oder Comicbüchern.
