Biblia Pauperum, Great Famine, c1315-1317
The country grew hungry...

From the Apocalypse in a Biblia Pauperum illuminated at Erfurt around the time of the Great Famine of 1315–1317. Death "(Mors") sits astride a lion whose long tail ends in a ball of flame (Hell). Famine ("Fames") points to her hungry mouth. (Wikimedia Commons)
