Perhaps the most elaborately illustrated book of the 15th century, The Nuremberg Chronicle ranks with the Gutenberg Bible in terms of its magnificent craftsmanship and unsurpassed excellence of design. A rich selection of plates from this 1493 history of the world, long a treasured favorite of collectors, is now available in this inexpensive edition.
This volume lovingly preserves the full grandeur of the original woodcuts, designed by the celebrated artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilheim Pleydenwurff. Some scholars believe that since Albrecht D rer was Wolgemut's student at the time of the book's production, it is possible that he too contributed to the illustrations of the Chronicle. The plates shown here depict 91 locales as they appeared in 15th century Athens, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Jerusalem, Venice, Prague, Munich, Nuremberg, Florence, and many more. Included are 51 city views, 26 of them double-page spreads, each one exhibiting a new mastery of perspective -- as this book embodies a stage in the evolution of art from the na ve to its more conscious form. An additional 143 miscellaneous illustrations of figures and decorative objects round out this volume, all of whose cuts emanated from the celebrated printing presses of Anton Koberger.

Tacky synthetic feel.
Color: Black
The material feels tacky. Not quite sticky but definitely not a good feel to it. Feels very synthetic and unnatural.

Excellent non-slip wide mat
Color: Navy Blue
I've used this for 2 months now and it's been a great buy. Extra wide but not bulky at all. The grippy ridges on both sides help a lot. Excellent overall and good quality for medium thickness.

Love this mat!
Color: Pale Green
I love this mat. I use it 5x per week with my strength training, cardio, stretching, whaever workouts. I prefer to be barefoot on it. It’s holding up well and is easy to roll up and store when not in use. I like the size, it gives me enough room to do whatever workout I need to do. The green color is very cute too! I’m 5’3”
