Okay, a couple of things about this picture. I wrote to Althorp (as in Princess Di) to ask about it, and it isn't in their possession. Since the source book was written so long ago, it must have been sold at some point.
What I can tell you about it is that the artist attribution may be wrong and it doesn't seem quite his style. And he practiced in Nurnberg mostly it seems. The ONLY instances I have found of the backflap like this one on a steuchlein are painted by Conrad Faber of the women of Frankfurt. They also liked embroidered covers on their heads which makes me wonder if it belongs in his catalog.
