King Donkeyear. Woodcut from Seversz' Cronycke, 1517 (W. 29). Although the text denies the existence of this tabled king he is nevertheless portrayed by the publisher. The example was a ‘Menelaus’ from a German chronicle of 1493, who was provided with donkey ears. |

St. Boniface. Woodcut by Lucas van Leyden from Seversz' Cronycke, 1517 (W. 38). Designed as a type rather than as a portrait! The publisher probably decided afterwards for which person such woodcuts had to serve. |
