The complete 117 images that triggered a religious revolutionMartin Luther's Bible, published in 1534, was the first complete German Bible and a pivotal event in the history of Christianity.

The most desirable copies came with shockingly graphic and politically-charged illustrations, such as those depicting the Whore of Babylon riding a seven-headed beast while wearing the Papal crown, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse led by a Turkish soldier.
