"The view shows Albrecht Dürer’s grave, positioned centrally in the foreground. It is notable that the artist has omitted the yew tree standing directly behind the grave

(see: Wolff, Kummet, Rothbart: *Dürers Grab*). This opens up a clear view to the west, revealing the eastern choir and roof turret of St. Johannis Church, as well as the rectory—which, just a few years later, was relocated to Lindengasse, the site where the *Schießhaus* (shooting house) had stood until 1856. The depiction of the 'portico gallery' in front of the rectory is of particular interest; this structure has survived despite the expansion of the cemetery. The 'Small Rectory Garden' was likely situated behind it, though this was also dismantled after 1850.

The print was published as early as 1826 and subsequently reissued several times."
