Hartmann Schedel / Michael Wolgemut/ Wilhelm Pleydenwurff - The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) - 1493
Original incunabulum woodcut leaf XLV (45) from the Nuremberg Chronicle of Hartmann Schedel, the first Latin edition from 1493.
An incunabulum (cradle print) is a book printed in Europe before 1 January 1501, when the printing press was still in its infancy, and of which the text is set in movable type. They are now rarely seen on the market.
The Nuremberg Chronicle (Liber Chronicarum) by Hartmann Schedel is one of the most famous and best illustrated incunabula. The beautiful woodcuts were made by Michael Wohlgemut (1434/37-1519) and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff (1450-1494), a teacher of Albrecht Dürer. Dürer probably also contributed to the execution of many of the woodcuts for this incunabulum.
In Folio XLV, on the recto side, different armoury accessories/clothing is shown.
On the verso side of Folio XLV, an illustration of Pisa is shown. The most notable aspect of this picture is that the Tower of Pisa is not portrayed and that is because it was started to be built in 1174 and completed in 1350.
43 x 29,5 cm
Good condition; German edition.
