Satirical cartoon depicting the integration of the Württemberg postal service into the German Imperial Post on April 1, 1902. Württemberg stamps, carried by a winged figure, fly towards an airship marked 'nach Berlin.' A man representing Württemberg (Jockele) sits in a river lamenting, while a Bavarian man (Michele) warns him about the eagle (Prussia) also taking his post. A border post 'nach München' is visible, and small train cars are on a track.
