A folio broadside (14.5" x 17.25") printed in German, dated June 4, 1776. The broadside details a decree from the Augsburg Senate prohibiting contracts between citizens under 25 and Jews, declaring existing contracts invalid unless witnessed by the city mayor. It warns citizens against Jewish dealings and threatens expulsion of Jews attempting to contract with younger individuals. This document reflects antisemitic sentiment prevalent in 18th-century Europe and provides a stark contrast to the American Declaration of Independence issued the same month. The broadside is accompanied by a short English translation.
