SCHEIBLE, J.[JOHANN] : DIE FLIEGENDEN BLAETTER DES XVI UND XVII 
JAHRHUNDERTS. : in sogenannten Einblatt-Drucken, mit Kupferstichen 
und Holzschnitten; zunchst aus dem Gebiete der politischen und 
religisen Caricatur / aus den Schtzen der Ulmer Stadtbibliothek wort- 
und bildgetreu herausgegeben von J. Scheible. Published :  Stuttgart 
: J. Scheible, 1850. 334 p., [88] leaves of plates (part fold.) : 
ill. ; 16 cm. Notes : "Mit 88 Tafeln." 46 full page and 42 folding 
engraved plates. Interesting because of the emphasis on political 
satire and cartoons on the Reformation. Much of the writing is in the 
form of poetry. Both this and the drawings are satiric. These plates 
of political and religious caricatures of the sixteenth century and 
seventeenth centuries are from the collection of the Stadtsbibliothek 
Ulm. In the original printed wrapper[rear wrap] the front wrap has 
been replaced by a plain stout wrap.Very Good. Although this has been 
here for a few years, the only copy I am aware of which has been sold 
in recent years was that from the library of H. P. Kraus. That copy 
has been rebound in cloth at an early date. As a collector of 
cartoons and caricature for a while I found this a great sublimation 
for my desire to own the impossibly rare early satires of these 
centuries. Buying it with the assumption that it will help you bid 
properly when one comes up is a vain idea, because they just don't 
come up in any quantity, anywhere. $335.00
