Lituania
From Latin editions (a German edition was published in 1493) of his “Liber Chronicarum…” (popularly referred to as the “Nuremberg Chronicle,” based upon the city of its publication), printed by Anton
Koberger, with woodcut views and maps engraved by Michael Wohlgemuth and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. The 1497 image is from the first small Latin edition. A fantasy image, the exact same woodcut was also used to illustrate Nicea (Iznik, Turkey), Metz, and Marseille.
