The recumbent figure on the side of this sugar-box is derived from sheet 108 of Höroldt's Schulz Codex. Details of the figure and the corresponding sheet are illustrated on p. 21. It is probable that the other figure (stoking a fire) is derived (in reverse) from the figure below the recumbent figure on sheet 108 of the Schulz Codex.
