Bookplate of Wilhelm von Zell after 1500

This anonymous woodcut bookplate from after 1500 depicts a coat of arms of Wilhelm von Zell. It features two shields supported by a knight and a winged creature, likely a griffin. The image is framed in a square with a simple inscription at the bottom, indicating the ownership of the bookplate and its location within the chapel of St. Hildegard. This bookplate would have been used to mark the ownership of books in the owner's personal library. The woodcut is a prime example of the detailed craftsmanship and heraldic tradition prevalent in the early modern period.
