There’s what i think is meant to be an anti-English joke about how slowly they (we) drink beer associated with this, but Google Translate mangled it, i think. See the link - can anyone help with a better translation?

At any rate he seems to be a very ugly boy, but maybe it’s the hair giving him a skinhead look.

Here we see justice as represented in classical art - the blindfold of impartiality (hah) started appearing in the 15th or 16th century.

I have no idea about steaming hearts (?) in her hands, nor about the women on either side, nor what the right-hand person is standing upon. Nor the bird on her helmet actually. Clearly i am no art historian!

Any ideas?

A locket, maybe, or medallion, a medal with a ribbon for your neck. With a castle on it. Jugend magazine, 1900.

It could almost be Neuschwanstein castle, and i think it very likely that was the intent.

The artist, Ernst Neumann-Neander, of Munich, also designed motorbikes.

I don’t know a lot about the artist here, Eugen Ludwig Hoess (1855 – 1955), beyond what i put in the notes; copyright ended on his work this January. He was best known for his work in Jugend magazine, including this one, and his theme of people living in nature.

Jugend was the Ray Gun Magazine of the 1900s.

Is that a quidditch snitch in her hand?

This engraving was made to sell the borders in it, & appeared in a printer’s catalogue of 1917.
