Dresden Vogelwiese Fair Humorous Scenes
Additional Details:
| The card depicts various humorous scenes from the Dresden Vogelwiese fair. The main illustration shows a "Glückshafen" (Port of Fortune/Lucky Draw) booth. A central circular image features a fishwife being pulled by a large fish and a man, with the German caption "Hier meine Herrschaften gegen Sie: 'Hinaus das Fischweib!' Zur Hülfe ein Fisch, zur Hülfe ein Mensch" (Here my masters against you: 'Out with the fishwife!' For help a fish, for help a human). Other scenes include booths for beer, wrestlers ("Ringkämpfer"), and general fair activities. The bottom left text reads "Was dir das Glück beschoren, giebt's dankbar an und zufrieden ab." (What fortune has bestowed upon you, give it back thankfully and contentedly.) |
