About this work

Fictitious album with 984 illustrations on 100 album leaves and a cover. A fictitious album means an album compiled by a patron, collector, or owner of the prints. It consists of woodcuts and fragments of woodcuts from the Liber Chronicarum by Hartmann Schedel, produced and published in Nuremberg and therefore also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle. Most illustrations are numbered by hand.
