- PAIR OF NUREMBERG CHRONICLE WOODCUTS,
PAIR OF NUREMBERG CHRONICLE WOODCUTS, 1493 A pair of woodcuts from The Nuremberg Chronicle, the first secular published book. It tells the history of the earth through seven "ages." The first one shows the recto LXVI, this piece shows a fictitious view of the visionary temple of Ezekiel. It includes the first figure of the temple edifice, a second similar figure, and two figures showing the ornamentation of the gate. The verso LXVI shows the ground view of the posterior gate, elevation of the east gate and appendages, and elevation of the north edifice. The second page is from Folio LI and show images of the city of Treviso, near Venice. Both pages are double sided as they were removed from a book. These pieces most likely came from two separate books as there is some slight size difference in the two sheets. There are two editions of the book, the first in Latin and the second in German. Although many towns and cities in Europe and the Near East are illustrated in the book, 49 of them were printed with only 14 different woodblocks. Hartmann Schedel; Anton Koberger published in Nuremberg by Anton Koberger in 1493.
