September and October  1547

Medium:
Engraving This is the September and October scene from Sebald Beham's "Twelve Months" or "Peasants' Feast" series. The names of the characters, "Egidius Herbstmon" and "Simon Weinmon", include clues about their autumnal identities. As in other prints from this series the peasants are depicted celebrating and dancing. Text: Emily Wilkinson
