The Effect of the League - 2nd of 3 images (3rd to follow), from 1594.

The league here is probably the Ligue Catholique or Sante Ligue, and relates to opposition to king Henri IV of France, who was Protestant.

Cleaned up with GIMP including the G'MIC despeckle filter for the lower right quadrant.

In the background of this sketch-like drawing, a castle is being blown up by canons. But we hardly notice, because in the foreground is a three-headed monster, a dragon, wearing a robe with rosary beads and crosses on it, marching over naked people, with the symbols of world domination before it.
