[Holy Shroud of Turin]

Il vero ritratto del Santissimo Sudario del nostro salvatore Giesu Christo. Reliquia santissima et gran thesoro della serenissima casa di Savoia, c. 1578-1604. Torino, a instanza di Bernardino Silva.
Rare and dramatic image of the Holy Shroud of Turin with explanatory text.

Fine and vivid print depicting the Holy Shroud or Shroud of Turin, the image is composed of several woodcuts in black ink, with the image of the Shroud in red ink; this is apparently the only known copy, state unknown. The image conveys a sentiment of veneration towards the relic, which is accompanied by an oration, and small portraits of the Savoy family to whom it belonged.
