Print of Der Rittersaal zu Erbach (Interior of Gothic Revival armory

A lithograph of a long Gothic hall with a ribbed vaulted ceiling, arched windows and a gallery at the far end. Two armored figures with lances stand at right in front of heraldic shields, while small figures in period dress walk across the flagstone floor. Caption below reads Der Rittersaal zu Erbach.

Look closer: Heraldic shields with lions hang on the armored figures' tunics and along the lower wall.
