Oldest known depiction of Zug published in Gemeiner loblicher Eydgnoſchafft Stetten Landen vnd Völckeren Chronik wirdiger thaaten beſchreybung (1547/48) by Johannes Stumpf.
Reason
Interesting image showing how the town of Zug was in the 16th century.
Weak oppose I'd love to support, but I cannot understand the strict B/W reproduction. It would make more sense to reproduce an analogue signal with as close a digital representation as possible. I am certain Johannes Stumpf didn't create this as a matrix of black and white dots. I like the subject matter, but I need a more realistic reproduction of the original to support.

Agree with greenj. The original is out there; we just have to ask the person who digitized it to do a better job. —

Oppose — Agreed. A full-color would be best, but I suppose a grayscale might be ok too. But the b/w just doesn't look right...

Strong Support It does a great job illustrating 16-century Zug. The focus should be on what it illustrates, not the illustration. As this was published in a book around the time of its creation, black and white suits it well, as it is a PRINT, not the original sketch.
