Inscription: Recto: centre, black ink: "ADVERTISEMENT. // IN presenting to the Public the Series of Designs executed by the celebrated // Albert Durer, in illustration of the Catholic Prayer-book, I regret much that, // in the edition published at Munich by Messrs. STRIXNER and PILOTY, from // which this is copied, the text was omitted. Through the friendship, however, // of M. SCHERER, Librarian to his Majesty the King of Bavaria, I am enabled to furnish a specimen of the first page. It will also by seen, that for the in-teresting Introduction, which contains all the information that can be collected // respecting the original work, I am indebted to M. BERNHART, Assistant // Librarian of the Royal Library at Munich. // With these recommendations, not possessed by the foreign copy, I trust // that this fac similie of a very valuable graphic monument, though hitherto but // little known, now submitted to the Public as the first production of my // Lithographic Press, will experience such approbation as to encourage me to // persevere in my efforts for the improvement of this infant art, which promises // the most important accessions to the advantages already afforded by Printing. // London // Sept, 1st, 1817. // R. ACKERMANN.".
