Monographien zur deutschen Kulturgeschichte, herausgegeben von G. Steinhausen
A volume from the illustrated series of German cultural-history monographs edited by Georg Steinhausen, issued in 1899 for general readers interested in everyday life of past centuries, here covering mercenary soldiers and the hardships of war. The plates reproduce fifteenth- to seventeenth-century woodcuts and engravings after Dürer, Matthäus Zasinger and the Petrarch Master, plus captioned broadsheets, supplying armoured pikemen, halberds, baggage carts, plundered villages and ornamental woodcut borders in high-contrast line.
