About this motif
The raccoon comes from North America and was released in Germany in the 20th century. Today it is widespread; it owes its German name, "wash bear", to its habit of feeling its food in water.
Falk's miniature shows a raccoon with its facial mask and ringed tail on the bank, with a tree and clouds above. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
