Commemorative sheet with five views of the second St. James monument
Description
The five photographic views of the second St. Jacob's Monument are integrated into the two patriotic, idealized graphic scenes of the Battle of St. Jacob. The four figures at the foot of Helvetia on the base of the monument represent the large number of fallen soldiers: in front the dead standard-bearer and the halberdier, behind the crossbowman and the stone thrower.
