Zu einem nur als Holzstock überlieferten Fragment einer spätmittelalterlichen Weltkarte (2008)

unapi

The Prussian officer Hans Albrecht von Derschau (1754--1824) in Nuremberg had collected approx. 1200 printing woodblocks which are today in the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin. Among them is a block which forms the upper left part of a late-medieval circular world map. The article discusses some art-historical aspects of the mysterious item. The block is cut on both sides. A reconstruction reveals a world map with a diameter of approx. 50--55 cm, printed from six blocks. The block has a second, later woodcut on the reverse side by the Nuremberg artist Hans Weigel the Elder (approx. 1548--1577). This leads to the Glockendon workshop in Nuremberg that was active in the last quarter of the 15th century.
