Product Information

Gutenberg Bible II/131v, The Book of Daniel (1,1-18): »Anno tertio regni Ioachim...«

This page describes Daniel's life at court as a prisoner of King Nebuchadnezzar. It's an ode to a puristic lifesytle, with Daniel existing on a diet of vegetables and water. It extols the virtues of inner composure, diligence and abstinence, with the help of which great goals can be more easily achieved.

Our variants

Standard
Ribbed deckle-edge paper, format 42 x 30 cm

Ribbed deckle-edge paper, format 42 x 30 cm, frame format 48 x 36 cm
The standard pages (see above) are coloured by hand by our artists using tempera and gold inks.
Hand-gilded
Format ca. 45 x 32 cm, frame format 54 x 43 cm
These high-quality prints are produced as a handpress print in three colours on the Korrex Hannover on handmade paper bearing the Gutenberg Museum watermark. Finely embossed gold embellishments are added to the tempera ink colouring using a skill very few artists still master. A base material is applied to the paper layer by layer in an elaborate and time-consuming process to form a platform for the 22-carat gold leaf. This raises the ornaments from the surface of the paper to perfectly display the elegant shimmer of real gold.
