A fourteenth c. representation of apocalyptic themes, including hunger (the swollen-bellied figure pointing to its mouth with the word fames [hunger] nearby).
I wonder sometimes if, whether by disaster or miscalculation of resources, due to our economy’s insouciance about food supplies, we’ll ever know a time again in modern society where a developed country could experience hunger like this society did.
Unlikely, perhaps, but it is good to think about sometimes.
