Abstract
What is the image saying? What does it represent? These are often questions which are difficult to answer. For example, hidden in a female figure holding an anchor is an allegory, a personification of hope. In the works of the Graphische Sammlung [ / the Collection of Prints and Drawings] we may receive an introduction to methods of describing these images and unlocking their secrets.
