“In einem Augenblick”: Leveling Landscapes in Seventeenth-Century Disaster Flap Prints

Suzanne Karr Schmidt. "“In einem Augenblick”: Leveling Landscapes in Seventeenth-Century Disaster Flap Prints." In Landscape and Earth in Early Modernity: Picturing Unruly Nature, edited by Christine Göttler, Mia Mochizuki. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2022: 353-392.
News traveled quickly in the early modern era, and printed accounts of the most
recent international disasters fueled this fascination. Book and print collectors
could experience these incidents safely at home with novel, interactive broadsheets
with liftable flaps. The most famous grouping showed the 1618 rockslide that
completely destroyed the Graubünden mining district of Plurs, near Switzerland.
Inspired by Zurich printer Johann Hardmeyer’s 1618 publication, in 1619, Strasbourg
and Nuremberg publishers Jacob van der Heyden and Johann Philipp Walch
produced their own. Such tactile additions helped viewers literally grasp the extent
of the wreckage while they perused the letterpress describing the newsworthy
event. This article examines these unruly printed landscapes, their published
afterlives, and their relationship to existing landscape modes.

‘It all Turns to Shit’ – The Land of Cockaigne in Sixteenth-Century German Woodcuts

Susanne Meurer. "‘It all Turns to Shit’ – The Land of Cockaigne in Sixteenth-Century German Woodcuts." In Indecent Bodies in Early Modern Visual Culture, edited by Fabian Jonietz, Mandy Richter, Alison G. Stewart. Amsterdam: AUP, 2022: 229-55.
Cockaigne, the legendary land of plenty, formed a sub-theme of popular depictions
of gluttony in sixteenth-century prints. These images combined carnivalesque
exuberance and moralising caution, illustrating both excessive consumption
and its ill efffects, from inappropriately lascivious or slothful behaviour to the
physical need to expel from top and bottom. Scatological motifs emphasised the
grotesque nature of Cockaigne, providing laughter while also warning viewers
of the consequences of gluttonous behaviour in the here and now: that spending
on fleeting pleasure will reduce fortunes to shit. These themes are explored here
chiefly through an exceptionally large mid-sixteenth-century German woodcut
now in the New York Public Library, as well as two related woodcuts by Peter
Flötner.
