About this motif
The beaver is Europe's largest rodent and was almost wiped out in Germany. Today it has returned to many rivers; with its dams and felled trees it reshapes entire floodplain landscapes.
Falk's miniature shows a beaver on a grassy bank with its broad, flat tail, a gnawed tree stump beside it and water in the foreground. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
