Inscribed by the artist in brown ink along the upper edge, “RHINOCERON 1515” and
along the lower edge with a note probably transcribed from a newsletter:

Translation:
“In the year 15[1]3 [this should read 1515] on 1 May was brought to our
King  of  Portugal  in  Lisbon  such  a  living  animal  from  India  called  a
Rhinocerate. Because it is such a marvel I considered that I must send this
representation. It has the colour of a toad and is covered all over with thick
scales, and in size it is as large as an elephant, but lower, and is the deadly
enemy of the elephant. It has on the front of the nose a strong sharp horn:
and when this animal comes near the elephant to fight it always first whets
its horn on the stones and runs at the elephant with his head between its
forelegs. Then it rips the elephant where its skin is thinnest and then gores
it. The elephant is greatly afraid of the Rhinocerate; for he always gores it
whenever he meets an elephant. For he is well armed, very lively and alert.
The animal is called rhinocero in Greek and Latin but in India, gomda”
Inscribed on the verso, in the lower left-hand corner, by a later hand in brown ink,
“rhinoceros”.

The print has five lines of text talong the upper edge beginning:
'Nach Christus gepurt. 1513. Jar. Adi. i. May. Hat man dem grossmechtigen
Kunig  von  Portugall  Emanuell  gen  Lysabona  pracht  aus  India  ein  sollich
lebendig Thier. Das nennten sie Rhinoceros...'
Translation:
'On  1  May  1513  [this  should  read  1515]  was  brought  from  India  to  the
great and powerful king Emanuel of Portugal at Lisbon a live animal called a
rhinoceros.  His  form  is  here  represented.  It  has  the  colour  of  a  speckled
tortoise and it is covered with thick scales. It is like an elephant in size, but
lower on its legs and almost invulnerable. It has a strong sharp horn on its
nose  which  it  sharpens  on  stones.  The  stupid  animal  is  the  elephant’s
deadly enemy. The elephant is very frightened of it as, when they meet, it
runs with its head down between its front legs and gores the stomach of
the elephant and throttles it, and the elephant cannot fend it off. Because
the animal is so well armed, there is nothing that the elephant can do to it.
It is also said that the rhinoceros is fast, lively and cunning.’ )
