The Metamorphoses by Ovid. Engravings by Johannes Baur. 1703.
Artist Johann Whilhelm Baur (1600-1640) designed 151 illustrations for the Metamorphoses. They first appeared in Vienna possibly as early as 1639 and were reissued several times. This edition, printed at Nuremberg in 1703 includes a title page from an earlier edition dated 1687.
Both title pages are included here, followed by links to the plates. They are divided here by Book number to make the file sizes more manageable. However, the actual printed edition did not separate them in any way beyond labelling them by Book number and page number.
