The undecorated title-page states that this volume is illustrated by woodcuts after drawings by both men — “illustrirt mit holzschnitten nach zeichnungen” — but it is not clear either that Neureuther did the wood engraving or what drawings he did. I have assigned plates to him that do not seem typical of those by Schnorr for Carolsfeld. — George P. Landow
