Hand-drawn; hand-colored; hand-lettered. The text in Fraktur and German script is in the center of the document. The first two lines are written in particularly prominent letters. It is flanked by two vases with flowers. The vases are standing on a border that encloses the bottom and sides of the text’s lower. A border runs along the upper edge.
