'Picture Puzzle of Jonah and the Whale and a Squatting Peasant', 1537. The anamorphic, or distorted, view in this large, dated print shows Jonah stepping out from an imaginative whale but the landscape is not distorted. In the foreground, the stretched inscription reads, WAS SICHST DV? ('What do you see?'), with the date and a small printer's name. To 'see' the subject correctly, a viewpoint from the lower right-hand corner is required. A squatting and defecating peasant then appears. The vulgarity is disguised by the distortion, but the goat on the far left about to charge the naked buttocks gives a clue to the woodcut's underlying peculiarity. PD, 1880-7-10-643 (CD I. 552,9)
