English: Baron Munchhausen
Record number: 23061602 Artist: Herrfurth, Oskar (German, 1862-1934) Item caption, front: Münchhausen / O. Herrfurth, pinx. Item caption/descriptive text, back: Münchhausens Abenteuer. 2. Einmal ritt Münchhausen in tiefer Winternacht landeinwärts, wurde müde und band sein Pferd an einen spitzen Stecken. Nach tiefem Schlaf erwachte er am hellen Morgen mitten auf dem Friedhof, während sein Pferd an der Kirchturmspitze angebunden war. Abends war nämlich das Dorf zugeschneit gewesen und in der Nacht der Schnee zusammengeschmolzen. Der Baumstecken, an der glaubte sein Pferd zu binden, war der Wetterhahn gewesen. Nun nahm er seine Pistole, schoß das Halfter des Pferdes durch und konnte seine Reise im Galopp fortsetzen. = Baron Münchhausen's Adventures. 2. Once Münchhausen rode into the countryside in the dead of winter night, grew tired, and tied his horse to a sharp stick. After a deep sleep he awoke the next morning to find himself in the middle of the cemetery, with his horse tied to the top of the church tower. The previous evening the village had been snowed over, but the snow had melted during the night. The stick to which he thought to tie his horse had been the weathercock. Now he took his pistol, shot through the horse's halter, and was able to continue his journey at a gallop. Uniform title: Dimensions: 141 x 93 mm.

He ties his horse to a stick protruding from the snow, and drops off to sleep. He wakes the next morning to find the deep snow melted, and his horse tied to the church's steeple. A shot from his pistol frees the horse, and the Baron continues his journey.
