Title: Postcard Portrait of the Great German Poet
Description: circa [1915]. [1915]. circa [1915]. [1915]. Very good. - sc Postcard portrait [5-1/2 inches high by 3-1/2 inches wide] depicting the poet's face in brown & cream on a dark brown ground with his name printed below. In this unusual portrait, the face is composed of a swirling assemblage of figures -- a man on horseback with his cloak flying out behind him, a naked female, a crowned king, a masked figure, a man in a scholar's cap with a woman in a bonnet and gown [perhaps characters from Goethe's works]. Very good. Very good .
