This German register to the Nuremberg Chronicle, printed by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg in 1493, is a world history compiled by Hartmann Schedel with woodcuts by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff for a Nuremberg readership. The pictures are dense woodcut city views with towered walls, rivers and ranks of rooftops, plus a genealogical chart of seated rulers in roundels linked by lines and coats of arms, useful to a designer for early printed map and town-panorama conventions.
