Figure descriptions
The hand-drawn poem title, “Lohengrin”, is contained within a plaque with a curved
frame. There is a goblet centered above the
frame; above the goblet, there is a dove with its wings outstretched. There is a decorative
circle behind the dove’s head, which
looks like a halo. Straight lines extend from the halo across the rest of the illustration.
To the left of the title, a man wearing
a winged helmet stands on a chariot that is being pulled by a swan. Three figures
with long robes and head scarves gather to the
right of the title. The figure in the front clasps his hands together and pleas. They
all stand on a grassy hill that overlooks the
water. 1/3 page. The remainder of the periodical page includes the hand-drawn poem
text set to sheet music.
Men, women, and two girls gather outside of a building. Some of the figures hold up
flags. The girls wear floral crowns and
scatter flower petals on the steps. The figure at the front of the group looks back
and gestures toward the rest of the group with
his arm outstretched. A woman who stands behind this figure raises her hand to her
face and appears to look up in shock. Full
