Samson and the Lion
1471 - 1528
Albrecht Dürer
German
This print was made from a relief block made from a cast of the original woodcut block by Dürer. The project was developed by William Ivins, in connection with his research on whether Dürer had cut his own woodblocks. Ivins collaborated with Douglas Morse Howell to produce the paper used in this print, and this impression was obtained from Howell's daughter.
