Stork

from The Game of Hope, c. 1799

Der Storch. A stork among reeds spreads its wings, a frog caught in its beak. Insets: queen of hearts and the German Ober of hearts. Change and new arrivals in later reading; the frog, about to be swallowed, is a dry joke this first version allows itself and most successors dropped.
