Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Farbzeichnung des Ostasienreisenden Caspar Schmalkalden.
English: colored drawing by Caspar Schmalkalden (c.1618-c.1668). Approximate translation:
A Chinese merchantman
If one searches traders
and precious expensive commodities,
then he will be allowed
to enter our country,
We have silk commodities
and pure porcelain.
If we are not known for Mars (i.e., for being warriors),
then all the more so for our art.

Kaufmann


Sucht iemand Kaufmannschafft
und kostbar tewre Wahren,
Dem ist nunmehr erlaubt, in
Unser land Zu fahren,
Wir haben Seidenwahr
und reines Porcelan
Macht Mars uns nicht berühmbt,
so hats die Kunst
gethan.
