Franz von Sickingen : ein Bild ritterlichen Lebens aus der Reformationszeit ; mit 4 Illustrationen

Ziemssen, Ludwig · 1892 · Carl Flemming · 4 pictures

A German popular history of the knight Franz von Sickingen, written by Ludwig Ziemssen and published in 1892 by Carl Flemming, aimed at general readers interested in the Reformation era. Its four plates are black-and-white wood-engraved scenes of a secretary taking dictation, a banner-bearing rebel with a drummer, mounted knights riding past a town, and Emperor Maximilian I at his desk, giving a designer period costume, armour and interior detail to draw on.
