Description: The Schedel's World Chronicle is an important reminder of German letterpress art from the late Middle Ages and with about 2000 woodcuts in the most picturesque work of the early time of printing. Michael Wolgemut began in 1487 with William Pleydenwurff, his son, with the design work to the woodcuts. Also contributions of the young Albrecht Dürer are likely, which went to 1490 with Wolgemut in teaching. We offer a decorative single Leaf with woodcuts.
