- Unser Verkehr
- Description:
- Hand-colored etching of a scene from Karl Borromäus Alexander Sessa's satirical play "Unser Verkehr" (The Company We Keep). In German, the text reads : "Gaih! Gaih! - Los dich treten von de Leut, los dich werfen aus de Stuben, los dich verklagen bei de Gericht, los dich hetzen ins Hundeloch, los dich binden mit Stricke und Ketten, los dich martern halb taudt! Aber du must doch werden reich!" In English, the text reads : "Go! Go! Let yourself be stepped on by people, let yourself be thrown out of rooms, let yourself be denounced to the courts, let yourself be pushed into kennels, let yourself be bound with cords and chains, let yourself be martyred half to death! But you must become rich!"
