Early Antique Woodcut of Damascus and Trier
About the Item
Very early woodcut of Damascus and Trier. An individual page of the 'Nuremberg Chronicle'. This work by Schedel (1440-1514) is an illustrated world history which is based on the Bible, which follows the story of human history related in the Bible and includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel it appeared in 1493. It is a well documented incunabulum, one of the first to successfully combine illustrations and text.
The verso page describes Damascus, the image is of a walled city on a high promontory, reminiscent of a European town rather than a Middle eastern town. The folio side describes Treves or Trier in Western Prussia. The image of a large city with a dome to the right first appears here, but is repeated elsewhere in the Chronicle.
