This was an extremely ambitious project, but getting to personally handle Durer prints was one of the coolest things I've done! Let me know if you have any feedback or want to see more like this.

Errata

1) When the citation Burmester and Krekel (1984) pops up, it should read Burmester and Krekel (1998).

2) I actually no longer am persuaded about my account of the greens - they're definitely all copper-based, but since azurite is also a copper pigment that could be blended to make green, I suspect that's the source of the darker green on clothing

3) marked colors on the map are approximate, not based on detailed historical data.
