I just stumbled across this resource
Category:Zwölfbrüderbücher - Wikimedia Commons
It's pretty cool. Seems an entity called the Twelve Brothers Foundation of Nuremberg, founded in the 14thc, began making illustrations of crafts, starting around 1425. They kept it up until the 19thc, leaving us with hundreds. The link above shows all of them. It's all in German, but you can just click around.
For those wanting to dig deeper, each image to the Wikicommons site has a link to the source, which in turn has a transcription of the text on that folio. Example: Die Hausbücher der Nürnberger Zwölfbrüderstiftungen
Have fun!
