| Reverse description | The reverse carries a photographic panoramic vignette of the city of Marburg as seen from the Weintrauts Oak viewpoint, rendered in a brownish-purple halftone print. The cityscape shows the densely built hillside town dominated by the Gothic collegiate church of St. Elizabeth and the Landgrave's castle on the heights above. A caption in serif type below the vignette identifies the view. |
