About this work

Verso of the title page of the book 'Reformacion der Stat Nüremberg / Cum Gratia et Privilegio'. Two angels hold up three shields, two with the city arms of Nuremberg and one with the imperial arms. Above them on clouds are the personifications of Justitia and Liberalitas or Abundantia, who are emptying a purse.
