Mistakes were made in #earlymodern print shops. However, such #misprints, as they were called, rarely survived in our collections. Here you see a misprint from 1642 Germany. The image was printed upside down, and the proof-reader crossed the print to make sure this is not to be used. #bookhistory
The title page of a print can be seen. The image is upside-down. the print was titled "An dem mit Inn- und Euserlichen Gaben besonders befündlichen Herrn Elien Rudelien, würdig belorberten Poeten unnd trefflich geübten Ritter von Ehrengrün", and can be found in Dresden at the SLUB: https://digital.slub-dresden.de/werkansicht/dlf/94703/1#
