Ein wunderbarliche vnnd kurtzweilige History: Wie Schildtberger, einer auß der Statt München in Beyern, von den Türcken gefangen, in die Heydenschafft geführet, vnd wider heimkommen ist, sehr luostig zu lesen
A 1570 German printed account by Hans Schiltberger, a Munich man captured by the Turks and taken into heathen lands before returning home, issued as an entertaining travel narrative and preserved by Heidelberg University Library. The woodcut pictures are small, framed black-and-white scenes set within dense blackletter columns, showing armoured soldiers, tents, and fighting or court gatherings that a designer could take as compact models of early modern narrative layout and figure composition.
