<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ex Libris, post: 2118867, member: 14916&quot;]I found this strange gouache on paper once in an antique book store. I bought it because I think it is an intreguing piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the flag, that the Grim Reaper is holding, there is the word Cholera. It is signed with an unreadable signature and it has a date: &#039;66. I think that stands for 1866, when there was a massive outbreak of cholera in Western Europe during the fourth cholera pandemic (1863–1875).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1863%E2%80%931875_cholera_pandemic" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1863%E2%80%931875_cholera_pandemic" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1863–1875_cholera_pandemic</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Am I right it was made in 1866?</p><p>Was it ment to be art?
