Moving on to Thuringia, Germany, we are transported to a solemn scene - the burial of victims at the Segengottesschacht of Burgk.

The vivid colors highlight both victory and defeat in this captivating woodcut from circa 1870. Across the ocean in Philadelphia, USA, Methodists gather for a campmeeting near this bustling city.

We then find ourselves amidst snow-covered landscapes in Germany as musicians perform under snowy conditions - Musikkapelle im Schnee comes alive through this beautifully colored woodcut from circa 1870. The enchantment continues as we travel to Transylvania, Romania for a glimpse into Gypsy Burial customs through another strikingly detailed woodcut dating back to around 1870. Helgoland in Germany becomes our next destination where fishermen skillfully catch oysters against breathtaking coastal scenery captured either by photo or illustration published back in 1892.
