1495 · [Schönsperger] · 44 pictures

A German almanac printed around 1495 in Augsburg by the Schönsperger press, offering a calendar of the zodiac signs, the seven planets, and guidance on bloodletting and health for lay readers. The woodcuts are small roundels and historiated initials in a late medieval style, with a few showing figures at everyday tasks such as eating, drinking, and warming by a fire. A designer might take from them the simple outlined figure style, the circular medallion framing, and the decorative capital letters set into dense black-letter text.
