Inscribed to the German dermatologist Alwin Scharlau: "Das Werk von Adolf Menzel's Riesengröße | Zeigt mir das meine stets in ganzer Blöße. | Doch daß der kleine Riese nicht Ihr Maaß, | Gesteh' ich's wahrhaft, sehr gefällt mir das, | So komm' auch ich mit kleinen Ruhmes Kränzel, | in Ihre Sammlung, stolz | Luise Menzel". - A popular glass and porcelain painter, Menzel operated a private studio in Berlin, created tableware decorated with flowers, animals, landscapes and women's faces, and was a member of the heraldic "Herold" association from 1894.
- Slightly brownstained near right corners. Self-addressed by the collector on the reverse. The Mecklenburg physician Scharlau (b. 1888) assembled a collection of artists' autographs by personal application..
