| Reverse description | The reverse bears a full-surface woodcut-style vignette in black on cream paper with an ochre-gold geometric diamond border, presenting a hare standing alert amid a lush foreground of wildflowers and grasses against a rolling heathland landscape with a striated sky. A caption cartouche at the lower margin inscribes the literary reference to Hermann Löns's celebrated novel. The overall composition reflects the Expressionist graphic art style characteristic of German Notgeld of the early 1920s. |
