Article description

Original woodcut from the famous "Nurnberg Chronicle", printed in Nürnberg, in December 1493. Fully handcolored city view of Venice. Verso illustrated as well with the halfpage view of Padua on one side and on the side with six small woodcuts of Saints. German text edition. This view of Venice is one of the earliest obtainable authentic city views, published only a few years before 1500. This plate was exactly published and printed in December 1493 in Nürnberg at Anton Koberger. The "Nurnberg Chronicle" was the earliest and most richly illustrated incunable and descripton of the world, which was as well illustrated with a small number of authentic doublepage city views. The woodcuts were mostly cut by Pleydenwurff.
