Wundet
Ink and water color etching of Cholera Prevention Man dressed in a large blue overcoat, a clay pipe in one hand and a mask over his face. He is standing in a doorway surrounded by boxes containing herbs. Behind him is the ghostly apparition of cholera. The translation of the inscription is roughly "The well-equipped home medicine cabinet for one who loves his health. / Cholera Prevention Man"
