Ornament With Flower and Eight Wild Folk 1465-1503 Germany. Ornament prints with mischievous tiny figures were in such demand in late-15th- and early-16th-century Europe that engravers like Israhel van Meckenem frequently borrowed imagery and entire compositions from other artists. The flower stalk that the naked wild men and women scale comes from a print by an earlier artist, the Master E. S. This print bears an inscription that translates to ìThe noble bees draw honey from the beautiful flower; from this one however, the frivolous vermin extract a stronger potion.î The ripe blossom thus symbolizes sexual consummation, and the print simultaneously tempts and warns the viewer about ìthe birds and bees.î. Engraving in black on cream laid paper . Israhel van Meckenem, the younger
