Notes:

A man with short back and sides hair, a suit jacket, and what looks like a green dress but is probably an apron, uses a small hammer with a chisel on a shield. In the background plate armour for a war-horse. Above, a mediæval-style chandelier.

The German caption reads “Eine Werkstätte der Bühnentracht. Das Ciselieren.” which Google Translate fails at miserably, but translates more or less as Workshop For Stage Costumes: The chiselling (or, chiseller?).

The space at lower right contained an article about the workshop:

The incorporation of naturalism, or rather, fidelity to reality, cannot be studied solely in modern drama; it has also left its mark on the stage representation of the historical past. Here, the Meiningen Theatre brought about a profound change. Respect for costume has given rise to respect for historical character.

Or, in the original German,

Das Eindeingen des Naturalismus oder besser gesagt der Wieklichkeitstreue lësst sich nicht allein am modernen Drama studieren, as hat auch der Bühnendarstellung der geschichtlichen Vergangenheit sinen Stempel aufgeddrückt. Hier haben die "Meininger gründlich Wandel geschaffen. Der Respekt vor dem Kostüm hat die Achtung vor dem geschictlichen Chaakter gezeitigt.

The original print is approximately A4 (US letter) sized in the book.
