Foolery, sir, does walk about the orb
like the sun, it shines everywhere.
~ William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
Hans Hanberg in 1568
Mother Nature is playing an April Fools trick on us today with a spring snowstorm. When will spring ever arrive? This beautiful etching of a fool was made by Hans Hanberg in 1568. He is resting his chin on his right hand, wearing a chain with a large medallion, with a fly on his fool's cap. I'm pretty sure he is looking for signs of spring!
