Comments:

This illustration comes from Elegiae (1520).

Falconer Madan (1895, p 227): ‘A copy of No. 2. with ‘P G’ instead of ‘I B’, and some minor variations, occurs as the mark of Petrus Caesar Gandavus, who printed at Ghent in 1516-47. The title on the press is ‘prelū cesareū’ in one line.’
[Note: According to the Universal Short Title Catalogue, Pieter de Keysere only printed one book in 1516. This mark does not appear in that publication. Is 1516 correct?]

Technique:

Woodcut.
