A digitised page from a 1590 Schembartbuch, a carnival book once owned by Sebastian Schedel and held at the University of California, is circulating among history and costume enthusiasts. The Schembartbücher record the elaborate masked costumes and processions of Nuremberg's pre-Reformation carnival, and digitisation projects have made these vivid 16th-century illustrations freely viewable.
