Berichte und Dichtung über Herzog Johann Friedrich I. von Sachsen
A 1555 German chronicle and verse account of Duke John Frederick I of Saxony, held by Heidelberg University Library, with hand-coloured woodcut views. The first picture shows a bearded man in a red cap set above a townscape of gabled houses and a walled tower, with handwritten text in the margin; the second shows a dense map-like view of a walled town with a river and a riverside street of tightly packed houses. A designer could take from these the dense hand-coloured city panorama and the strong framed portrait format.
