Remark:
From the workshop of this master comes the find of cards signed only by PH,
deposited in the Museum of the city of Prague. The woodcut print bears
the emblem of the Old Town on the red ace and the signature of the author
PH on the red and green seven. In total, there are several proof sheets
in the museum depository. The cards are of Czech origin and can be dated
to 1577 according to the ball troika (register no. 186 312-186 349).
Z. Šťáhlavský suggests that it could be
Helmreich, but this is an obvious mistake.
