Description
Interior view of a post station with travellers lingering. Outside, the postilion sounds his horn to signal that it is time to continue the journey. The innkeeper also urges his guests to depart. The travel bag in the foreground on the left illustrates the consequences of tardiness.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
