Werner Schodoler, Eidgenössische Chronik, Vol. 3
Werner Schodoler's Eidgenössische Chronik, volume 3, is a handwritten and illustrated Swiss chronicle made in 1514, held by the e-codices virtual manuscript library and written for a Swiss audience recording the Confederation's wars. Its pen-and-ink pictures show armoured pikemen, town walls, burning towers and negotiations, drawn in brisk linework with light wash, which a designer could use for medieval siege and battle compositions, crowd groupings, or hatched ink textures.
