A previously unpublished late mediaeval wood carving of St Anne with the Virgin and Child (Anna Selbdritt), of unknown provenience, was acquired by the National Gallery in Prague from a private collection. At the National Gallery it was initially deemed the work of Petr Breuer of Cvikov (circa 1472-1541). However, a stylistic analysis and comparison with related works revealed that the sculpture was created around the year 1515 in the workshop of Jörg Lederer of Kaufbeuren (active 1499-1550). This Anna Selbdritt at the National Gallery is a contemporary variation on the devotional sculpture of Anna Selbdritt from Reutte in Tyrol (circa 1515), which, however, was irreparably re-carved in the late baroque. The National Gallery's version thus serves as unique evidence of the original appearance of this important and still venerated sculpture. Another very valuable feature of the Anna Selbdritt in the National Gallery is the layer of surviving early Renaissance polychrome that was uncovered during restoration work carried out in 2009-2010. The unusual way in which the artist styled the veil wrapped around St Anne's head points to inspiration from Albrecht Dürer's print titled Virgin and Child with St Anne from 1501, and the somewhat unique way in which the clothed child is depicted is also based on Dürer's prints, which served as a major source of inspiration for altar compositions (e.g. in Latsch im Vintschgau) by Lederer's workshop.

The Křivoklát Highlands is especially known for metal mining. In the past centuries there were also glassworks on the tradition with glassworks Antonin Rückl and sons in Nižbor founded in 1903 and a small one Glasstar in Nenačovice since 1996. We excerpted several toponyms relating to the history of glassmaking in the past and present from written and cartographic sources. The oldest glassworks in monitored location (founded by an important member of the branched family of glassmakers foreman Kryštof Schürer in 1600) was near the village Broumy. They supply their products to Prague to the imperial court of Rudolf II.

During the historical study of glassmaking in the Jeseníky mountains it is necessary to work with the written archival sources (that rarely occur in Middle Ages and early modern times), old regional history literature and also with cartographic sources. There are some toponyms relating to the history of glassmaking excerpted from these written and cartographic sources. They would probably be able to locate some habitats of defunct glassworks.

During the historical study of glassmaking in Jeseníky mountains it is necessary not only to work with the written archival sources that rarely occur in middle ages and early modern times but also with regional local history literature and cartographic sources. There were excerpted some toponyms relating to the history of glassmaking in the district in question from these written and cartographic sources. They helped to locate some habitats of extinct glassworks. Collecting of material from these sources has confirmed the legitimacy of these exploring sources. Pottery founded on one of these deposits helped to determinate dating of activities in glassworks and moved the beginning of the glassmaking in this part of northern Moravia already to the middle of the 14th century.

In reviewing of glassmaking history in Lusatian mountains there is necessary to study thoroughly not only the archive records, which are scarse for the medieval and early modern ages, but also the old regional literature of homeland. There can be found some toponyms, hydronyms and oronyms which concern the history of glassworks. For the same reason there are pursued the card-register sources too. From written and card-index quotations there were excerped many datas which refer to extinct glassworks in the traced territory. They aided to localize some places of obsolete glass activities and the found relicts confirmed their existence. The accompanying deposits of customary ceramics helped to state the approximate operation period of these glassworks. The begin of glass undertaking in this part of North Bohemia has been shifted to the half of the 13th century. More often the toponyms were applied, less often the hydronyms. They cover the parts of previous Děčín and Česká Lípa districts, that is the region of Lusatian mountains and in the west direction the Děčín highlands.
