Der Bauernkrieg
A German illustrated sheet from 1849 by Eugen Hess and Anton Muttenthaler, issued as a numbered plate for popular readers, depicting the Peasants' War of 1525 through six scenes. The pictures show armoured lansquenets, peasant rebels with pikes and flails, a mounted commander, and a burning castle, drawn in dense crosshatched wood engraving that suggests strong dramatic staging for period costume and crowd compositions.
