Landsknecht Guild

More research-y goodness from yesterday. The Brown archive included 5 images from Jacob Koebel, so I googled the name. And found the mother lode. The German digital library has his book “Wapen. Des heyligen Römischen Reichs Teutscher nation” online in digital format. As far as I can tell, this is a book showing all the flags in the Holy Roman Empire. Someone with better German that mine can worry about the text, I'm mostly looking at the pretty pictures.

To see 5 thumbnails at a time, click Miniaturansicht, then scroll through. Images 21 - 164 are flag waving Landsknecte. Yes, that's right, there are 143 Landsknechte images in this book. Granted, you can only see the legs for some of them, but still!
