Image Title: Printer's Device of Heinrich Petri

Scripture Reference:

• Jeremiah 23 (further images / scripture text)

Description: Printer’s device of Heinrich Petri (1508-1579), one of a long line of Petri printers based in Basel. The image plays on the family name, as it centers on a clump of stone worked by two forces in the clouds above: a face that blasts it with fiery breath and an arm that smashes it with a hammer. These symbols come from a description of God's Word (Jeremiah 23:29).
