Medieval Comics

A Lenten cloth on exhibit at the Liechtensteinisches Landesmuseum, Vaduz, LS

Most people who lived in the Middle Ages could not read, so they used pictures like we use books.
The Lenten cloth from Bendern tells two stories: The top row contains tales from the Old Testament. From the second to the fourth row you can read the story of Jesus.

Panorama put together with Hugin.
