Engraving in black ink on paper depicting 2 bearded men in profile with stereotypically large noses and fleshy lips and round patches on their clothing identifying them as Jews. They wear a circular scraper and watering can as hats and hold vine-wrapped flag poles, coins, and a goblet as coins spill from their money pouches. They are seated back to back on an enormous barrel on a wagon carrying wine barrels, corn sacks, and a fox pulling a net full of farmers behind as it is driven toward a large, toothed creature’s mouth on the right by a horned creature with hooves. In the background, men and horned creatures work in a barn in front of a destroyed corn field beneath storm clouds and a wine cellar in front of a withered vineyard beneath the sun and a flaming sword. False German biblical verses and Latin phrases are recorded within the image in Fraktur font. The title and additional verses are printed above and below the image. back, top right corner, pencil : 29
