(2) Albrecht Glockendon II
( fl ?1506; d 1545). Son of (1) Georg Glockendon I. A master from at least 1515, the year after his father’s death, he seems to have assumed the direction of the family’s workshop. As a publisher, Albrecht reissued Etzlaub’s Roadmap in 1533 and Georg’s Von der Kunst Perspectiva in 1540 under his own name and also published at least 17 large woodcuts by such Nuremberg masters as Sebald Beham, Peter Flötner, Georg Pencz and Erhard Schön in the 1530s. Most of these are large broadsheets or multiple woodblock prints, such as Schön’s Twelve Clean and Twelve Unclean Birds (c. 1534; Geisberg, no. 1194) or Sebald Beham’s Large Church Festival (‘The Great Country Fair’) (1539; G 251–4), which consists of four large sheets showing one continuous composition.
