Surrounding the manor is beautifully landscaped park with a small pond. They were at last able to fulfill their dreams of possessing their own estate with an airy and spacious manor home. The fields surrounding the manor, 160 hectares of forest and brick plant, provided excellent prospects of the future.             However, this idyllic family situation was interrupted by the unfaithfulness of Anna Maria, Joachim’s wife, with a frequently visiting salesman. The husband discovers her treachery by accident, finding letters from the lover to Anna Maria, in which he recall their trysts. The letters were hidden in vase, placed at the top of the tiled stove in the salon. In a fit of rage, he throws his wife out, brandishing a weapon. It is only after quiet some time that he finds peace in the arms of the maid Giselle, whom he ultimately marries, after obtaining a divorce with his previously expelled wife.   Front Side   Back Side   Right Side   Left Side   *SHIPPED IN FULLY PROTECTED PACKAGE* *BE SURE AND DECIDED BEFORE PURCHASING* *NO RETURNS*         Place a Bid!
