Here are is a scan from Late Gothic Engravings of Germany & The Netherlands
by Lehrs, Max
with an essay by A. Hyatt Mayor, curator of prints, Metropolitan Museum
You'll see the same book listed with either Lehrs, or Mayor.
This is an old Dover publication, 8 1/2 x 11 format. I could not find it on Dover's webste, but found half a dozen copies on ABE Books( http://www.abebooks.com ).
This book is not for the faint of heart. It has Saints and Dragons, Churches, some animals, a fair amount of foliage in different styles. The illustrations are quite clean, tho' printed on a cream paper, making scans a little harder to get good contrast. This is a marvellous collection if you are interested in that old world way of doing things.The anatomy of the people and animals are a bit awkward, but you know what the picture is trying to convey.Perspective was not fully understood at this point.
