This print originates from Volume 5 of Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, published between 1893 and 1897. Meyers Konversations-Lexikon or Meyers Lexikon was a major encyclopedia in the German language that existed in various editions, and by several titles, from 1839 to 1984, when it merged with the Brockhaus Enzyklopädie.
