Berardi fragments 1 and 2

 |
5045 and 5046 are composites consisting of fragments from different
imprints. 5045 consists of a main sheet and a top strip joined to this
at an awkward angle. 5046 consists of an upper and a lower part of equal
size, plus a vertical strip extending the latter to the right.
The Christie's fragments were once in the collection of Theodore B. Donson, New York,
but sold at an auction by Christie's in 2002.
Note that the Berardi fragments are not printed from the same
woodblock as the others, but from a mirror image copy of it.
