To commemorate the 300th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer's death on April 6, 1828, in September 1826 Albert Christoph Reindel, Director of the Nuremberg Kunstschule art school, called upon all German-speaking artists of the day to submit works for a "Stammbuch" – an elaborate album – in Dürer's honor. The appeal was also published in November 1826 in the widely read "Kunst-Blatt" art journal.
