This is an album of pages from "Das Sächsische Stammbuch" ("The Saxon Pedigree"), a book from 1500 to 1546 containing portraits of Saxon nobility accompanied by names, arms, and rhyming text. Illustrated and illuminated by Lucas Cranach. There were a few pages with only text and blank pages which I omitted both to save on space and because the illustrations of clothing are of particular interest to me. The full version, with higher resolution images is available for viewing through the SLUB Dresden website - which is linked to below.
