“Chakra”

[smithsonianlibrariesarchives]

This plate, originally from the 1487 text Sermones quatuor Novissimorum, was here reproduced in the November 1877 issue of The Printing Times and Lithographer in an article about the printer, Van der Goes. This hairy figure is wielding a club and bearing the arms of Brabant, perhaps intending to portray the House of Brabant in a less than positive light. The full text is available here.
