The original work was created in 1521 by the northern Renaissance painter Lucas van Leyden, one of the greatest engravers of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition contains not Van Leyden’s 1521 version, but rather a copy of it done by Jan Harmensz. Muller, an artist best known for his skilful reinterpretations of the work of his predecessors. So exactly replicated were his engravings, that Van Leyden’s original dates and monogram appear in Muller’s woodcut plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough there is no indication that Muller himself attempted to pass off his work as that of the earlier master, scratched-out marks in this edition suggest that previous owners tried to make it appear as though they owned an original Van Leyden. It is only thanks to a small engraving of Muller’s name that we know this is a reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a complicated history not unlike the tangled branches depicted on the cover, this \u003cem\u003eTree of Life\u003c\/em\u003e binding stands out amongst the British Library’s collection of antique tomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384215486700,"sku":"9781439793176","price":42.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17098763482700.jpg?v=1773403410","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/wildwood-tree-of-life-ultra-lined-journal-by-paperblanks-9781439793176","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
