       Banging the big #drum in 1631! This is a Protestant mocking and warning of Catholic #propaganda and military recruitment during the #ThirtyYearsWar.This #broadside shows, among other details, a very big drum that is played by Monks and Jesuits (on the left). On the right  is the #Devil in a military uniform - and other clerics with the ready war chest.#MediaHistory knows: the conflicts between 1618-48 filled the newspapers of the time, and inspired lots of media battles. #Histodons1/2

       Here you see the full broadside with the image and text parts. You may access a digital copy of the "drum broadside" that was published in many slightly variated versions as media echos in these years here: https://digital.slub-dresden.de/werkansicht/dlf/22082/1 A big drum to symbolize war propaganda was easy to understand to contemporaries of these conflicts. #histodons 2/2
