Freyheits-Brieff Der Schmorotzeren/ feurigen Nasen/ Früh- und Morgendurstigen : beneben ein schön neues Lied/ Herr Wirth ich bin dir schuldig/ ich gib dir aber nichts etc. In seiner eigenen Melodey zu singen
A German broadside-style satirical print, a 'Freyheits-Brieff' or charter for parasites, fiery noses and early-morning drinkers, with a song to sing to its own tune; publisher unidentified, held by ZB Zürich, and aimed at tavern-going readers. The single woodcut shows a seated, red-nosed drinker slumped in a hearth-side chair while a woman in a headscarf stands beside him, with flames and a jug nearby; a designer could take its bold black-and-white hatching, dense carved shading and comic, exaggerated gesture for a tavern or folk-satire look.
