This is the title page of a 1890 book titled "Der Trompeter von Säkkingen" by the German writer Joseph Viktor von Scheffel. The title translates to "The Trumpeter of Säkkingen: A Song of the Upper Rhine", which alludes to a romantic epic poem by Scheffel that was published in 1854. The book is a reprint, as indicated by the note "Gedenkausgabe" on the page, which translates to commemorative edition. This was likely printed for the 36th anniversary of the book's original publication.
