Woodcut, 200x525 mm (sheet 470x650), Latin text, hand-painted in watercolor; the plate depicts a general view of Nysa in Poland. Taken from Hartman Schedel's “Liber Chronicarum”, commonly called the “Nuremberg Chronicle”: it was the first work with real representations of the cities of the world (around 2000 woodcuts) and was enormously successful, so much so that it was considered a milestone in the development of geographical knowledge. It was printed in two editions, the first in Latin in July 1493 in around 1500 copies, the second, in German, in December of the same year, in around 800 copies. The engravings are the work of Michael Wohlgemuth, Albrecht Dürer's teacher, his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and the young Dürer himself as attributed by Walter L. Strauss in the text Woodcuts and woodblocks (New York: Abaris book, 1980). Excellent example with traces of usual restorations to the central fold
