@slevelt The illustration may be found in Holländer, Eugen, "Wunder, Wundergeburt und Wundergestalt in Einblattdrucken des fünfzehnten bis achtzehnten Jahrhunderts kulturhistorische Studie" p276, where it is attributed to a broadside of 1629.

CW: the book contains many historical, graphic images of disabled bodies, and discusses them in terms which would be regarded as unacceptable, prurient and offensive today.

How do you do, fellow #histodons?
I have thoughts about #performance #theatre #materialculture and #spectacle in #medieval (#late-medieval), #renaissance and #earlymodern Europe, particularly #Burgundy, the #Burgundian #Netherlands, #France and #Italy. I do #digitalhistory #arthistory and #animalhistory.
