A tiny man shooting a word nearby, within a printed text of the European past. Welcome to another #rebus broadside of the later so-called #ThirtyYearsWar. A shootin' short 🧵 for #skystorians
And round and round it goes, volvelle-style. This #earlymodern broadsheet is deeply engaged with contemporary topics of the #ThirtyYearsWar. Eight perspectives on one page, a complex story to enfold for the audiences. A volvelle does the trick.

Our messenger is a tiny detail of a broadside published in 1621 Germany, during the later so-called #ThirtyYearsWar. More precisely, our walking detail is part of a printed #rebus with the title "Des pfaltzgrafen Haußgsind".

Fighting about the manuscript: this peer review situation between reviewer 1 (the helpful armored lion on the left bravely fighting to rescue the text) and reviewer 2 (the devil himself) was in fact a detail in a #earlymodern propaganda print of the #ThirtyYearsWar. #academicchatter

Fifty Shades of the #ThirtyYearsWar ! Curiously dated Lutzen 1632, the Scots are seen here giving the Imperialists a good old spanking while the Swede stands back & watches.
What would the Lion of the North have said?

The window that started the Thirty Years’ War when, on 23 May 1618 Protestant noblemen threw Catholic Imperial officials from this window in Prague Castle. Amazingly, they survived. The Defenestration sparked a Bohemian revolt against Habsburg authority #defenestrationofprague #thirtyyearswar

Now that you all are interested in the #octobass, why not have a look at the mother of all octobasses - being played in 1632 by soldiers during the #ThirtyYearsWar. The article (in German) is in #openaccess: biblioscout.net/book/chapter... and part of this volume: biblioscout.net/book/10.2516...

According to the German text, the roaring and killing beast is an animal symbolizing war in general. So this print is a reflection of the #ThirtyYearsWar in Europe. #skystorians

While 'owls on ice' is already something and a half, this engraving has also a motto (in Dutch): Hoe passen wy byeen - How do we fit together? It is about couples and about being together with someone in a world of nonsense, a timeless topic made under the impression of the #ThirtyYearsWar in Europe

And of course, these soldiers dressed in farmer's wifes clothes, entered the German city of #Bielefeld. (Just google the Bielefeld conspiracy ... and thank me later, #skystorians). However, the infiltrating soldiers then fought a Spanish army - in Bielefeld. The #ThirtyYearsWar was a European war.

Military success makes it more likely to enforce a peace. Yet it also breeds political desires... which, in turn, stand in the way for peace. Prime example: The Edict of Restitution in the #ThirtyYearsWar (@gmtgames.bsky.social) cliosboardgames.wordpress.com/2025/07/27/w...

One of my favourite women of the #ThirtyYearsWar is Christine of France, dowager duchess of Savoy, who made it her life mission to give the hardest time to her usurper brothers-in-law, Spain, her brother Louis XIII of France, and, above all, her exasperated co-belligerent Cardinal Richelieu.
