!!!Eipeldauer-Briefe

Eipeldauer-Briefe ("Briefe eines Eipeldauers an seinen Herrn Vetter in 
Kakran ueber d´ Wienstadt" / "Letters from an Eipeldauer to his 
cousin in Kakran about the city Vienna"), founded in 1785 by J.  
Richter; popular magazine published during the final years of the 
Enlightenment period. Written in a stylised vernacular, the "letters" 
commented current local events. A satirical picture of the big city 
with all its features and customs was drawn from the point of view of 
the farmer Eipeldauer. Until 1813, the Eipeldauer-Briefe were 
published by J. Richter, from 1813-1819 by F. X. Gewey and 
1819-1821 by A. Baeuerle.
