Stadswapen van Bazel 1568

"Stadswapen van Bazel", a 1568 engraving by Nikolaus Solis, depicts the coat of arms of Basel. The heraldic shield, adorned with intricate flourishes, is held by a winged creature resembling a griffin. Standing beside the shield is a man dressed in the fashion of the time, holding a staff and looking towards the viewer. This small-scale print, measuring only 79 mm in height and 57 mm in width, offers a glimpse into the visual identity of Basel during the 16th century.
