- Hand-colored etching of a scene from Karl Borromäus Alexander Sessa's satirical play "Unser Verkehr" (The Company We Keep). Etching by Johann Michael Voltz. In German, the text reads : "Gaih! Gaih! - Loss dich tretten von de Leit, loss dich warfen aus de Stuben, loss dich verklagen bey de Gerichte, loss dich setzen ins Hundeloch, loss dich binden mit Strick und Ketten, loss dich martern halb taud! Aber du musst doch werden raich!" 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!"
