Heinrich Vogtherr - woodcut leaf - Sack of Strasbourg (451), Atilla the Hun - 1548
Large folio woodcut leaf.
Depicts the Sack of Strasbourg in 451. Strasbourg was one of the cities burned and sacked by Atilla the Hun during his Gallic campaign of 451. The city was destroyed.
Wonderful richly illustrated woodcut leaf from the exceedingly scarce first edition of the great Stumpf Chronicle, one of the greatest illustrated works on the early to mid 16th Century.
Heinrich Vogtherr (the Elder) (1490 in Dillingen an der Donau – 1556 in Vienna) was an artist, printer, poet and medical author of the Reformation period.
Very good overall condition. Very minor age toning to margin. Please view the images carefully.
