Summary[edit]

Description

Cologne on the Rhine in 1530

From the caption:

COLOGNE ON THE RHINE IN 1530

(After the woodcut of Anton Woensam of Worms.)

The original, executed for the house of Peter Quentels, the first impressions of which were presented on Jan. 5, 1531, to Emperor Charles V. and his brother Ferdinand, recently chosen king of Rome, is composed of nine large folio sheets, three of which on a scale of two-fifths are here reproduced.

Helmolt reports that this is more accurate than most other pictures of Cologne from this era.
Date 1531, 1902

This media file needs to be cleaned up, because: Could use some work. A band about a third of the way across the scan is more dark than the rest, and somewhat distorted; it is also lower quality. Also, various imperfections from stitching together two scans (I don't have a flatbed big enough). (Trying to scan from a book without breaking the book). There are also various small stains..
For help, see Commons:Media for cleanup.
