Thought fans of the paukenwagen might like to consider this bad boy from Anne S K Brown. The text readsWarhaffter Abriss
1735I. W. B. (artist)
image
Mezzotint by Gabriel Bodenehr after I.W.B,; horseless gun-carriage manned by 4 men, ornamental scrolled border with trophies etc. and description printed below.
Any ideas what it is?
