Check out these old etchings. The possession and insanity section is quite interesting.

What does everybody think about the one where all of the witches and sorcerers are outside flying and dancing around with the goat guy and the people inside the building are throwing up frogs and what not?

This one?



I'd like to know more about who did it; what the mentality of the day was regarding exorcisim, and that kind of thing.

Wish I had more time.

What about the woodcut are you interested in? Such art was common for this time, especially the poor sense of depth.

Stan, are you trying to tell me that you don't believe in magic, sorcery and short little goat legged guys running around making people throw up frogs and driving them insane?
