Monographien zur deutschen Kulturgeschichte, herausgegeben von G. Steinhausen
Volume from Georg Steinhausen's series of illustrated monographs on German cultural history, issued in Leipzig from 1899 for general readers, tracing medieval and early modern merchant life. Pages reproduce fifteenth-century woodcuts, chronicle miniatures and seventeenth-century copperplate broadsides of counting houses, quayside loading, shops and street trade, with repeating printer's ornament bands across the page head for borders, spot figures and hatched cityscape backgrounds.
