Look at how white her face is, BUT he really wants to get his hands on that .roemer!
Here and below: Massive use of prunts” on the body so the roemer doesn’t fall out of one’s hands.
Top two: Editor: I wonder if they ever got feathers in their wine ?
Is that skull in the background is trying to tell the viewer something?

A postcard showing a great collection of old German glass roemers at RATZSCH’S bar in Milwaukee.
Using a pewter wine server. I think this is later day Artistic license = as the server (German / Swiss and mainly 1700’s ) is not as old as the individual represented (Dutch 1600’s !)
Detail: From a PUG scene on a V & B ‘Dresden’ serving tray.
Detail: From a V &B ‘Mettlach’ wall plaque.
Just how much can one person eat?
A student dueling society – check out the size of that roemer, top, middle left.

[L] These “Leuchteman”, (Monk?) made from real animal horns and gessoed wood, would hang from the ceiling in the old German Guest Houses. Originals with the lamps still intact, in good shape now sell for 1,000 of dollars!
Shown: Holding a roemer, a German tavern’s “Lusterman” (made of molded gesso over thin wood, and real horns) which were hung above some of the favorite tables in the German pubs. These usually had candles holders attached; later electric light. (This was in the S M & T, but I really had no place to hang it.) Originals are very, very hard to find nowadays.
Dogs and beer are usuall subject for jest as on postcards. It is rare to see a wine drinking pooch.
The European kids start early and learn well. (The grey-white area is a glass reflection.)
