Mai 1920,' with three manuscript signatures of municipal officials. The right panel presents a detailed landscape vignette of the village of Altlengbach, with a church and surrounding buildings nestled among wooded hillsides, enclosed within an ornate foliate frame.

A final line reads 'Die Nachahmung wird bestraft.' (Counterfeiting will be punished). |
