1627
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
New ABC Booklet: N is a 1627 by Lucas Kilian, a Baroque work, depicting Letter, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a German town with a big gate in the center. Woodcut letters spell “N” across the top. The buildings look real but the street is empty. Kilian carved this in 1627. It’s part of a set of ABC pictures for kids. Tiny details hide in the shadows—look for the lamplight on the stones. Next, try Lucas Kilian’s print “O.”
Lucas Kilian (Lucas Kilianus Augustanus; 1579–1637) was a German engraver and etcher from the Kilian family of engravers in Augsburg.
