| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black and red in a dense allegorical composition. Two nude male figures, bound in chains, emerge from swirling clouds at the left and right margins against a dark background with red flame motifs. At centre, a circular red-outlined medallion encloses a four-line quotation from Schiller's "Ode to Joy" in red letterpress, flanked below by two crossed swords. A small artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. |
