Stovepipe picture
Two stovepipe pictures by Fridolin Leiber
Stovepipe pictures were used to cover the stovepipe hole until the 20th century .
In small homes, the stove was often removed from the rooms outside of the heating season. In order to cover the hole in the wall that became visible, stovepipe pictures were hung up, which typically had the shape and dimensions of the hole to be concealed. One copy is in the Württembergisches Landesmuseum Stuttgart with the inventory number VK 1982/425 . The chromolithography shows a scene in the field, man and woman are busy planting potatoes.
