Two pairs of eye glasses talking to each other about the #ThirtyYearsWar on a #broadside published in Germany in 1621/22.
The giant pair of glasses is easy to spot in the image part of the print, and represents the city of #Prague and the Catholic party of the contemporary conflict. The giant pair of glasses is used as a visual guide to look into Prague, its fate in 1621, and the then victorious Catholics.
And what about the small pair of glasses? Follow this thread, #histodons. #history
