| Reverse description | A hand-drawn vignette in a naive illustrative style portraying a medieval episode from Dorsten's civic legend: townspeople atop the city wall hurling beehives and honey at besieging intruders, with the agitated bees serving as the city's defenders. The scene is rendered in simple line work with light colour washes against a plain ground, enclosed within a ruled border. |
