contents: Oldest known picture of both a printing shop, a printing press and a bookshop. On the left, the printers are working, on the right we see a bookseller behind a counter. Death takes them all by the arm and from the dialogue below it appears that their final hour has come. The picture gives a nice indication of what a 15th-century printing house and bookseller's might have looked, also in our regions.
