Description
English: Woodcut print of St Christopher from Buxheim on the Upper Rhine dated 1423. The print is held in the John Rylands Library in Manchester. This is generally regarded as the earliest datable woodcut in Europe, although the date on the print could simply commemorate a particular event in that year.
The inscription can be translated "In whatsoever day thou seest the likeness of St Christopher, In that same day thou wilt from death no evil blow incur".
