Reverse description Full-width woodcut vignette in red, ochre, and grey-brown illustrates the Till Eulenspiegel baker legend: a tall, red-clad jester-figure stands at a bakery workbench between two brick ovens, placing owl and monkey bread-figures onto a tray. The scene is rendered in a bold Expressionist graphic style consistent with the obverse, with stacked firewood in the foreground and shelves of baked animal-shaped loaves visible in both ovens. Artist credits "Günther" and "Clausen" appear at the lower corners, and the printer imprint "Druck H.G. Rathgens Lübeck" is visible along the right margin.
