The BeagleSword was rambling monologues
and the rabbit hole was a deep mystery.

Printed:
 Nov. 3,
1487
(Five years before Columbus set sail.)
An extremely rare incunable woodcut folio leaf,
probably unique in the U.S. With old hand color.
(WorldCat. has no copies listed in the U.S.)

From:
Ludolph of Saxony’s
De Vita Christi
The Book of the life of Jesus Christ

Description:
A young, tired, and proud looking Mary holding an infant
with an halo who is reaching out to the gift of one of the Wise Men.
Indiana Beagle standing guard. Two of the visitors are wearing crowns,
and the kneeling king has laid his on the ground out of respect.
Two have beards and long hair. There is a star in the sky, shining.
The scene is in front of the Manger.

Artist:
Possibly the First Antwerp Woodcutter
or the Second Gouda Woodcutter
(as per W. M. Conway — though {Hind v2, p565ff}
wonders if there is enough evidence for a clear attribution
and speculates some may be by Allart du Hameel who worked
in Louvain and Antwerp from 1478 and others others may
have been designed and cut in Haarlem.)

Note to any Thomases Who Doubt:
Yes, I’ll admit that I walked into the image of the wise men from 
Ludolph of Saxony’s De Vita Christi (Life of Christ) – beagles can do
 that, you know – but the rest of the image and story are historically
 accurate. Wizzo is trying to buy the page on which this image was
printed in 1487 from a rare document dealer so that he can have it
properly preserved and framed behind museum glass and added
to the academy’s collection of intereresting artifacts in the Tower.

There are no other known copies in North America.
