Kampfrauen Images, Part One: Encampment and Wagon Train
These are images from the The German single-leaf woodcut, 1500-1550, Max Geisberg ; rev. and edited by Walter L. Strauss, New York : Hacker Art Books, 1974. These images are from volumes 2, 3 and 4. .
In selecting these images from the woodcuts I selected only those that were identified as Landsknecht and not those that 'looked' right or were from the same time frame. These are all the distinct images from the Single-leaf woodcut books that have Kampfrauen in them, with the exception of one print of naked girls being sold in the Turkish slave market. I have chosen to focus on the women and their clothing in these woodcuts so that a better understanding of the clothing of the kampfrauen and of their hard and difficult lives may be gained.
Part One contains woodcuts of women in the encampments and in the wagon trains. Part Two contains women in the context of being part of a couple.
