Gutenberg's Strassburg, 1440
Strassburg in 1440 is a compact free imperial city crowned by its newly completed cathedral spire, the tallest building in Christendom. The walk moves from the approaches and river quays into the cathedral precinct, guild streets, and the tanners' canals, passing workshops where a goldsmith-printer is beginning to test movable types across the river.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Strasbourg as it stood in 1440 (“History of Strasbourg”).
