Slavete Omnes,
From British Museum, under Creative Commons licence, comes this XVI century print by the German printmaker Jost Amman, who frequently drew and printed images of the Ottoman warriors and soldiers.
It comes from this print, lavishly published by Jost Amman, and the British institution has only this etching. The etching shows some episode from the Ottoman wars in Hungarian Kingdom of the 1520-30s. .

Salvete Omnes,
a short entry to this extraordinary Stammbuch of Andreas Huber - a mix of gouaches and woodcuts (of Jost Amman's workshop) from 1584 or the last quarter of the XVI century. Held at the Württembergische Landesbibliothek Stuttgart (FR of Germany)- follow this this link.

ps
caveat -
the war between Russian Federation and the West being fought in Ukraine, with horrendous losses to the people of that poor country, has just gotten darker and more dangerous - Russians fired a new type of a hypersonic ballistic missile in Ukraine - prof. Ted Postol talks about this development with US Army colonel(retired) Daniel Davis (on his Yt channel) . Our world is moving closer to a nuclear war?

| this image makes a very interesting idea for a watercolor or drawing |
Long time ago I posted some woodcuts from meister Jost Amman's workshop. They were depicting horse care and everyday grooms and horse handlers & drivers.
Today, different but very interesting woodcuts from Jost Amman - including depictions of Mars, Aurora & Apollo.
