Reverse description The reverse presents a woodcut-style scene in red on cream paper, framed by the same green geometric border, illustrating the legendary itinerant quack physician Doctor Eisenbart performing a public treatment before a crowd of onlookers; the figure in a conical hat stands on a platform, gesturing toward a patient while festoons of greenery and red star ornaments hang above. The inscription at the top spans two lines referencing the folk verse about Doctor Eisenbart curing people in his own manner. The overall artistic treatment is consistent with the expressionist notgeld illustration style of the early 1920s.
