Description
A rider and his horse are suspended over a swamp, dripping with water, as the rider keeps pulling on his braid.
The caption reads in the German edition: Hier hätte ich unfehlbar umkommen müssen, wenn nicht die Stärke meines eigenen Armes mich an meinem eigenen Haarzopfe, samt dem Pferde, welches ich fest zwischen meine Knie schloß, wieder herausgezogen hätte.
