| Reverse description | Light cream ground printed in brown and golden ochre, with a wide frieze vignette drawn in a flat, Jugendstil-influenced style illustrating scenes from the Iwein legend ('Wandbilder aus der Iweinsage'). The central composition shows the knight Iwein at the magic spring ('Iwein am Zauberbronnen') beneath a stylised tree, flanked left by a mounted horse and rider and right by a combat scene ('Speerkampf'). A bold ornamental text banner at top and a second at the base identify the subject matter and the Hessenhof location in Schmalkalden. |
