    I would estimate c. late 19th century. Probably German or Austrian.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The picture is humorous, that's for sure! Have you translated the German? I can't see it very well in the picture.

    It is a bit faint and blurry, but as far as I can see, it says: "Sonne sendet deine Strahlen, ...... meine Liebesqualen." Sun send your rays, ...... my pangs of love.

    Edit: I think the missing word is Lösche, extinguish (as in extinguish a fire). So it probably says:
    "Sonne sendet deine Strahlen. Lösche meine Liebesqualen."
    Sun send your rays. Extinguish my love pangs.
