Juggling life, liberty and happiness

While looking for something else, I ran across this. Its a full color, quite detailed picture of an army encampment infront of a town. Usually when you find these they are woodcuts and in black and white.

I love how the tent supports are made out of branches, in one case a small tree has been bent over and that used. Straw is in the tents for mattresses and quite a few men's shirts are put over the top of the tents to dry.  And there's quite the mix of clothing styles, from slash and puff landsknecht, to tunics and hosen, to Spanish influenced styles. The women's clothes are all quite sensible, all of them have aprons, heads covered, and one of them  has her dress mostly undone.
