What was happening
A different series from the same town, this time with satirical cartoons about the Schleswig plebiscite and the Danish-German border question. The front shows a figure labelled Patriot with commentary about cockades and Danish flags — biting political satire from a town that had just watched the border move.
Signed by Rehr (Bürgermeister). The back shows the Neustadt Kirche (church) and the motto Ob schwer auch getroffen / Deutschland wird leben ("Though hard hit, Germany will live").
