About this work

This chromolithographic cartoon by Udo Keppler from 1898 shows a seated classical woman labeled History reading an open book listing names, while two bronze-like statues stand atop yellow pedestals inscribed with text. A small child in a dark coat watches from the shore beside a harbor with a sign reading Bawen Island. The print was published in 1898 by Keppler and Schwarzmann.
