Johann Theodor de Bry
Belgian-German copper engraver (b. Liège, 1561, d. 1623), who worked most of his life in Frankfurt am Main. His vast oeuvre includes a human figure alphabet [see also here], which appeared in his book Alphabeta et characteres, iam inde a creato mundo ad nos- tra usq. tempora; apud omnes omnino nationes usurpati; ex variis autoribus accurate depromptj. artificiose et eleganter in aere efficti et recens foras dati (1596), and shows many influences of similar alphabets of Peter Flötner in Germany. The alphabet plates in the book include representations of Chaldaean, Syriac, Hebrew, Coptic, Arabic, Samaritan, Greek, Illyrian, Croatian, Armenian, and Roman, among others, many of these in several different varieties, as well as national varieties of lettering styles (German, Flemish, French, etc). In 1595, he published a thick Alphabetbuch, in which we find elaborately ornamented caps. |
