"Hiob (Job), 1953, 126 woodcuts, edition of 500, Hans Günther Ziegler Verlag, Schwenningen/Neckar. Again, no set type (this saves money in printing). Note the very large size. This book and Abraham are far and away the largest books of their genre. Measures 17.8" x 13.5" x 1.3" (45.2 cm x 34.3 cm x 3.3 cm). Gothein's take on the trials of Job is remarkable for its bold nature and very large size. He uses positive and negative space very well. This book and Abraham should be considered companion pieces."
