from Wiki:

The Vicke Schorler roll is a 19 meter wide depiction of the “sea and Hanseatic city of Rostock” in the 16th century. It is named after its author, Vicke Schorler, who recorded the public, sacred and private buildings as well as life in the city and in some communities outside the wall between 1578 and 1586. Accordingly, a man named Friedrich “Vicke” (pronounced: Fiecke) Schorler created the drawings between June 24, 1578 and June 24, 1586. Despite intensive research, little is known about the person, but some vital data can be found in the archival sources. From this we can conclude: In 1589, Vicke Schorler acquired citizenship as a journeyman grocer,[3] became self-employed and married the daughter of a furrier and widow of a bagger. According to the law of the time, his wife transferred the inheritance to him: a house on Am Schilde square and later one on Blutstrasse (today Kröpeliner Strasse). Since practicing business independently was only possible after joining a guild (craftsmen) or company (merchants), Schorler must have become a member of the Landfahrer-Krämer-Compagnie in 1589. What he traded in and how wealthy he was are not known. The entire work shows how impressed the young Vicke Schorler must have been by “his” city of Rostock, its dignified brick buildings, the hustle and bustle in the squares, the busy shipping traffic in the harbor and the academic life. He may have been inspired to capture this in pictures by two panel paintings in his immediate vicinity
