Silhouette H. Vogel
signed and dated below the image, "Lapzeg 15/7 1859" (?), fine ink silhouette of H. Vogel, the sitter wearing a student cap, handwritten dedication "H. Vogel s/m lieben Felix Köster [...]" (faintly legible) and a fraternity monogram (Zirkel), good age-appropriate condition, crease mark to the left of the image, 13.5 x 11.5 cm (HxW)
The typical headgear and the fraternity monogram (Zirkel) in the dedication identify this work as a student memorabilia from the 19th century. A charming piece of academic cultural history.
