  2. Nicely captured! This is Napoléon Bonaparte, right? And the other guy looks like Goethe.

  3. Yes, that would be Bonaparte, and the other could be Goethe. Was he ḱnown for drinking Bruch's beer?

  4. You know, we Germans use Goethe as a marketing symbol for almost everything, ;-).

    Bestaubt sind unsere Bücher;
    der Bierkrug macht uns klüger.
    Das Bier schafft uns Genuss,
    die Bücher nur Verdruss!

  8. I love his expression. I don't think he's drank any beer yet as there is no smile to his face.

  10. martina: looks like Goethe had a marketing contract with Bruch.

    joo: well, if you had ĺeft the comment, I could have learnt my first Polish sentence.

    Denise Jelonek: of course he is not happy. It is 1814. He has just lost the war and realises that France will have to give Saarbrücken and the Bruch brewery to Prussia.
