An impression from the second Latin edition of 1511 of the Apocalypse, showing the double edge of the right upper border.  According to Joseph Meder, Durer-Katalog, Ein Handbuch Uber Albrecht Durer Stiche, Radierungen, Holzschnitte, Dere Zustande, Augaben und Wasserzeichenn, 1931. Durer's series of fifteen woodcuts for the Apocalypse or the Revelation of St. John the Divine was the first book in Western  art to be both published and illustrated by a major artist.  Unlike the other Durer's cycles that were printed withthe Latin Text on the back, the Apocalypse was printed in two columns. Aside from being superior in design and techniques to any previous fifteenth century publication, the cycle made a sensational impact onthe history of printmaking.
