A 1545 German cant dictionary and tramp vocabulary by Rudolf Deck, published in Basel, aimed at readers wanting to understand the rogue slang of vagabonds and travelling beggars. The single woodcut shows two travellers, a bearded man with a staff and a hooded woman with a walking stick, standing on a grassy ground line, its stark black-line cut style and ragged clothing offering a designer a model for period street figures.
