Uncler the ten animals is another line of text, cut in characters
similar to those of the general heading, referring apparently to another
series of cuts at the bottom of the print, now lost. The title is as follows :

The figures and animals are drawn in strong outlines without hatching.
The ground is marked by a single line.
[240 x 347 (cut).] The impression in dark grey ink was produced by friction. It
is cut within the border and torn irregularly on all sides. Colours : crimson lake,
grey, yellow, verdigris green. Watermark, bull’s head with stem, crown and seven-
petalled fiower. (Facsimile in W. u. Z. i, p. 333.)
Purchased at the Weigel sale, 1872.

A sheet printed from eleven distinct blocks. The chief of these
represents a woman in the prime of life, with flowing hair, but a skull
with a fly or beetle crawling over it instead of the youthful face with a
head-dress of feathers reflected in the round mirror which she holds in
her 1. hand. Her dress is cut very low and laced in front over a bodice
which is drawn tightly across the breast. The r. sleeve is slashed and
ends above the elbow with a border embroidered with an illegible motto.
The inner sleeve of soft material hangs loose at the elbow and is covered
again below it by a stiff cuff with two borders embroidered with the ietters
HNSO and The woman’s left hand holds up her skirt, on the border
of which is embroidered the name HANS KVRCZ. On the rim of the
mirror is the motto 3IT ♦ BRINGT ALE ♦ DING.
This cut [160 X 124] is surrounded on three sides by a single border,
but is open at the top, where the death’s head passes up into the midst of
some German rhymes printed from four separate blocks, each with its
own border line above and below. The letters differ so much in form
