Notes:

A sketch, almost a cartoon. A lady with a hat and long dress. A man wearing a bow tie and tweed sporting jacket. A boy, barefoot, perhaps a beggar or street boy, holds a beer stein (a half-litre mug, or Krügerl) up to his mouth to drink. It is the beer one of the adults has left in the mug.

The boy jokes that the tourists giving him the beer must be English, since they did not finish their beer.

The picture is signed PR 1900, and attributed to Paul Rieth.

A dialogue is printed below the picture.

Google Translate gives me:

Munich Child

“Hi, little boy, what do you think we are?

“Well, I think: Englishmen!”

“Ah! And why?”

“Well, you didn’t finish your beer!”

The German (in Bavarian dialect a little) is:

Münchner Kind’l

“Na, kleiner boy, uas meinst Du denn jetzt, uas uir so sind?”

“I moan halt alleweil: Engländer!”

“Ah! Und uieso?”

“No, weil’s no’ net amal mit dem Krügerl ferti worn san!”

I made a separate image of the barefoot boy.
