A 1491 Roman pilgrimage guidebook printed in Rome by Eucharius Silber for Christian pilgrims visiting the churches of the city. Its woodcut pictures are small, stiff, outlined black-on-white scenes of saints, the Virgin, a hermit-like figure with a lion, and heraldic shields, which a designer could use as simple medieval line-cut references for devotional or civic motifs.
