In the picture effect corresponding to that of the aquatint technique not used by Ridinger anymore. – On wide-margined light cardboard of impeccable freshness.

Truly repeating the action of the 2^nd sheet of “The Fair Game hounded by Several Kinds of the Hounds”, though not rounded at top and with varying design of the landscape background. – Especially in regard of this modification

Der hiesige Weihnachts-/Neujahrsgruß 2005 endete mit „In diesem Sinne recht schöne Weihnachtstage voll Harmonie und sammlungszugewandter Muße … “ , letzterer Wunsch in einer Grußerwiederung aufgegriffen wurde mit den Worten

„ das Gutwort des Jahres – sammlungszugewandte Muße – wunderbar, hab einigen LBA/Goethefreunden dieses Gutwort genannt. Sie haben in einer verwahrlosten Zeit ein ‚linguistisches Gespür’! “
