Woodcut illustration of God joining man and woman (or possibly Adam and Eve, specifically) in marriage, used by Heinrich Stayner of Augsburg
One of "[t]en coarsely cut illustrations (98 x 97) and one of larger size (128 x 96), in most of which it is impossible to recognise the style of [Hans Sebald] Beham; others, however, especially that illustrating the Holy Communion, come very close to Beham, and as the whole series appear to be by the same artist, it is likely that he sketched the illustrations roughly and did not superintend their execution" (C. Dodgson, Catalogue of Early German and Flemish Woodcuts Preserved in the British Museum (London: The Museum, 1903), v. 1, p. 441, no. 4-5). This illustration represents marriage as the joining of man and woman (or possibly Adam and Eve, specifically) by God. Used by Heinrich Stayner of Augsburg (formerly conjectured in error to be Hans Hergot of Nuremberg. Cf. VD 16 S 4709).
