Monographien zur deutschen Kulturgeschichte, herausgegeben von G. Steinhausen
Volume from Georg Steinhausen's series of German cultural-history monographs, published in Leipzig from 1899 for general readers interested in everyday life, here covering law courts and judicial procedure. Its plates reproduce sixteenth-century woodcuts from Strasbourg, Mainz and Bamberg printers: robed judges on benches, accused men led in by pikemen, crowded arcaded courtrooms with banderole mottoes, all in hard outline with dense hatching suited to reuse at small sizes.
