“ The most remarkable profane building ” (Meyer’s Konv.-Lex.) of the town built in Renaissance style from 1508 to 1540 except for the fine front built only in 1737.

Of course formerly artists and their publishers often brought more valuable works in expensively coloured and ordinarily black and white impressions on market.

Already  the  contemporary  Nagler  called Prout’s architectural and landscape pieces

“ splendid  decorations  under  glass  and  frame ”.
