I was searching google images and plugged in
"luther devil" on the off-chance of a hit.
This was on the first page of results--
http://asweb.artsci.uc.edu/german/171/luther/9.jpg
I offer it for whatever (perhaps little) it's worth.
I assume one could contact McMicken College in
Cincinnati to find out what they scanned if
this image looks relevant. It isn't what I'd
call a "conversation," however.
