Image description

Hirtenleben (Schafschur). Uberseeische Baumwolle war im Mittelalter noch unbekannt. Das Volk kleidete sich in Leinen und Wolle, und Schafzucht war in vielen Gegenden Deutschlands ein Haupterwerbszweig des Bauern. In das Bild der deutschen Landschaft gehort der Hirt mit seiner Herde oder bei der Schafschur; der Name Schere ist wahrscheinlich auch auf diesen Brauch zuruckzufuhren. Translation: Pastoral Life (Sheep Shearing). Overseas cotton was still unknown in the Middle Ages. The people dressed in linen and wool, and sheep farming was a main occupation of the farmer in many parts of Germany. The shepherd with his flock or at the sheep shearing belongs in the picture of the German landscape; the name Schere is probably also due to this custom. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).
