Nuremberg Chronicle

The Nuremberg Chronicle, published in 1493, is one of the earliest printed books to combine text and detailed illustrations. It serves as a history of the world from creation to then-present times and includes maps, city views, and biblical stories. Created by German printer Anton Koberger, it was intended to educate readers about history, geography, and religion. Its meticulous woodcut images and comprehensive content make it a landmark in early printing and book-making, reflecting the growing interest in knowledge and exploration during the late Middle Ages.
