A 15th century (1494) symbolic allegory woodcut showing a Medieval street and buildings with a fool whose house is on fire. Above him the hand of god (or fate) adds to his destruction with a hammer or mallet. (The 'all seeing eye' is hidden just above the cuff and a flag flies above his house with the letter F for fool)
