DescriptionThe lower margin reads: "Ioh. Daniel Hertz excudit Aug. v./ L'Avocat. L'adore la Discorde a l'aspect qui l'offense/Ses serpens en sifflant excitent sa vengeance./De la naissent proces par ecrit et verbaux,/ Qui trainent apres soi un fardeau d'ecritures./ Vous, qui aimez les procedures,/ Vuidez vos cofres forts et payez mes travaux./" It is repeated in German.ProvenanceBefore 1958, the Old Print Shop (New York, NY); 1958-present, purchased by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (Williamsburg, VA).
