Schedel H.: [Constantinopel], Nuremberg 1496, fine woodcut view of Constantinople, 14x9cm, in a sheet 27x18cm, from the famous Schedel’ s small Chronikon of 1496, elegantly glazed some restoration in the down left of the page affecting slightly the image, overall very good. This extremely rare view of Saint Sophia and the surrounding monuments of Constantinople including the Hippodrome and the famous column of Justinian, still standing with the emperor horseman at his top (a unique testimony) representing the storm which hit the city in 1487. Unique 15th century view of Constantinople.
