Hand-colored page with an attractive woodcut showing heavily armed Amazons, who must have appeared very alien at the time. The text portrays the exotic peculiarities and cruel habits of these women as well as their relationship with the ancient Greeks.
Below the recurring woodcut of a city not mentioned here by name.
The prior page (folium XIX) describes different islands known at the time.
Page from Hartmann Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle published in 1493 by Anton Koberger in an edition of 2000 copies.
Rare hand-colored version. Beautiful late Gothic style.
Nuremberg, Latin edition, 1493 AD
Woodcut on laid paper
Page 43.6 cm (17.2 in) x 30.3 cm (11.9 in)
Clear hand-colored print on laid paper. Paper lightly browned and fingerstained. Page trimmed.
The authenticity of the object is unconditionally guaranteed.
