Ankunfft Und herkommen der weitberümbten herrlichen Statt Venedig Sambt derselben gewaltigen Herrschafft, Title of the Festa della Sensa (second part), print, text sheet, Procession of the Doge on Ascension Day across St. Mark's Square in Venice. The procession leads to the Bucintoro, the Doge's galley. Once a year, during the Festa della Sensa, the Doge ceremonially 'married' the Adriatic Sea by throwing a ring into the water from this galley., printmaker: Jost Amman, Nuremberg, publisher: Johann Valentin Schäller, Frankfurt am Main, 1697, Bavaria, Hesse, paper, woodcut, height 168 mm x width 390 mm, A rectangular sheet with ornate blackletter script printed across it, featuring thick vertical strokes and decorative flourishes that extend above and below the main lines; the top area includes elaborate swirling ornamental loops and interlaced lines above the tall letters, while the lower area shows smaller but dense lines of text with calligraphic curls and occasional decorative embellishments; the ink appears dark against an off-white background with slight aging marks and faint spots, and the overall composition emphasizes strong vertical letterforms contrasted with flowing ornamental curves.
