Dürer House and Zisselgasse (Albrecht-Dürer-Straße) in Nuremberg

English travellers did not neglect to include Nuremberg in their cultural tours of Europe. The fame of the Dürer House had been on the rise since the middle of the 18th century. With the discovery of Nuremberg by the Romantic generation, it advanced to a position as one of the city's major attractions. The Reverend Thomas Frognall Dibdin, a leading bibliographer of the period, was accompanied in his travels to France and Germany by the draftsman George Robert Lewis. After their return to London, Dibdin had engravings made from a selection of Lewis' drawings, to illustrate his published report of his travels.
