Small scale in simple repeat.
To a film-going, cosplay-performing, literature-reading modern audience, the medieval world evokes thoughts of romantic swordplay, fantastic dragons, and grandiose castles with turrets, crenelation, moat, drawbridge, and the works. This authentic design by a medieval artist, for a medieval audience, about medieval life illustrates a more gritty reality. At the center of the fortress, a public execution is in progress. From the simple, very detailed historical woodcut from Germany, I created a seamless repeat. For the color version in brown tones, see: http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/2028276
