| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large panoramic vignette in brown letterpress, reproducing a 19th-century engraving of the city of Wetzlar as it appeared circa 1642, with the Gothic cathedral and town rooftops rising against a hilly landscape in the background. The foreground depicts a lively outdoor gathering of figures in period costume seated and standing at tables, suggestive of a garden scene. The caption 'Wetzlar um 1642' appears in script at upper right, and the artist's name 'Willgerodt' is signed in the lower right corner. |
