- Description
- Lithograph with title “Der Sűndenfall des XIX. Jahrhunderts, / oder das vaccinatorische Hexenwerk.” Here, a group of vaccinators leading a smallpocked woman form a procession past a university, with Death waving his scythe behind them, and the members of the university dozing in the foreground. This satirical image, attributing the decline of Germany to vaccination and syphilis, was printed by R. Jenni in Bern. Another version appeared in C. G. G. Nittinger, Das falsche Dogma von der Impfung und seine Rückwirkung auf Wissenschaft und Staat (Munich, 1857).
