The image is a black and white illustration of an old man with a long beard and a long mustache, holding a scythe in his right hand. He is riding on the back of a horse, which appears to be a rooster. The man is wearing a long coat and a hat, and is holding a small child in his left hand. The child is holding onto the handle of the horse's reins. The background is white, and there is text above and below the illustration that reads "Salt's 'n' auf!!!" which translates to "Salt is a good thing!" in English. The illustration is attributed to Julius Diez (German) and is from the 18th century.
