- Description
-
A broadside satirising and criticising contemporary fashion trends and immoral lifestyles, undermining German values and traditions; with an etching showing thee men and three women, all fashionably dressed, the two women on the right wear outfits whose bodices, and their broad feather hats, are similar to the men's clothes, the apron of the middle woman is printed on a separate flap which lifts to show her wearing breeches. Between the figures are a hare, a turkey, a peacock, and two monekys, the latter engaged in viewing their genitals, with a banner of three lines of engraved music held by a hare and a monkey dressed in fashionable clothes; with letterpress title and text in four columns, and the title and text with rules and remains of a frame of type ornaments. (n.p.: [1629])
