This anonymous woodcut from 1553 - 1586 depicts August, Elector of Saxony, disguised as a peasant, in a procession with Wolf von Schonbergk, Baltzer Wurm, and Paul Gröbel. The scene features a group on horseback followed by a large wagon pulled by oxen. This detail, with its inscription, would have been printed as a part of a larger book.
