Book cover. Text in Fraktur print on a dark brown background surrounded by a decorative frame topped by a stylised artillery shell. It reads (in translation): Bowls and punches for field and exercise use by the German army.
Illustration from the book. A black-and-white engraving shows a tall cylindrical glass and a tall stemmed glass. Both are filled with crushed ice and decorated with fruit. A spoon and straw are stuck in each. The cylindrical glass is labelled "a fully garnished sherry cobbler", the stemmed glass is labelled "champagne cobbler"
No revolutions, nothing medieval - a friend sent me this awesome resource about what German officers drank in 1910 and it probably explains a few things about the #FirstWorldWar
