Die deutsche bèucherillustration der Gothik und Frèuhrenaissance (1460-1530)
A scholarly 1884 survey of German book illustration from the Gothic and early Renaissance periods, 1460 to 1530, written by Richard Muther and published in Munich and Leipzig by George Hirth. The pictures are woodcuts showing medieval scenes of feasting, a bedside death, a bishop or cleric with a scribe, and a reading desk, with clear outlines and dense hatching that suggest how early print blocks carried narrative and framing borders.
