@medieval_illuminations The bottom frame crossbow hare looks like someone who has absolutely had it with all the shit happening in the world.

@medieval_illuminations

huh... this reminded me of the Struwwelpeter story of the wild huntsman

This reminds me of this French song, "Un Lapin", by Chantal Goya, almost as old as the illumination.
