As one of his larger-format woodcuts, Dürer takes advantage of the plane of the sheet, taking up every inch with spectacular, lively scenes of angels who wield their swords with strength and fervor. According to Strauss:In contrast to the spacious and lofty upper half, the battle of the angels crowds the bottom of the sheet. The power of the angels is enhanced by their placement back to back, and the multitude comprising a third of mankind is emphasized by showing it curtailed and cut off by the border lines. Thus the placement of terror is exactly the reverse…here it occurs on the ground. (183) Created before the Latin edition of 1511 this print a lifetime impression and monogrammed with Albrecht Dürer's signature stamp, 'AD' in the lower center. Sheet has full margins all around.
