Barth

Description:

Hand-colored engraved caricature of a Jewish peddler. Engraving by Franz Barth. In German, the text reads : "Gar veile nennen Juden mich / Und machen drüber lustig sich - / Ich bitt Euch, mit dem Witze spart / Es giebt auch Juden ohne Bart, / Und veile, die sich Christen nennen / Und doch betrügen, wo sie können." In English, the text reads : "Many call me a Jew / And mock me for it - / I beg you, spare me the mockery / There are also Jews without a beard, / And many who call themselves Christians / And yet deceive, wherever they can."
