intriguing collection of prints, illustrations/books & history. ♥

image above: "Martin Luther’s first translation of the entire New Testament ['Das Newe Testament Deutzsch'] from the Greek original was published by Melchior Lotter the Younger in September 1522, with woodcut illustrations by Lucas Cranach." can anybody tell me what story this is illustrating? it didn't have it marked where i found it. fascinating imagery.
