This iconic scheme has been unimaginatively rendered thus far but now I offer a much more "painterly" interpretation of this fire-breathing devil!
Painted by a young art student on the ground crew staff of Jasta 7 I do not believe he would have produced a crude cartoon (as usually portrayed) and so, after much careful study of the one available blurry photograph and the "dogfight" painting that Jacobs himself confirmed as the correct colouring, my art student son, Will and I have added the kind of detail that was present in so many better-documented schemes. Jacob's was reportedly delighted by this surprise from his staffer-mates! Switching our rendition to monotone and comparing to the photograph was a startling revelation!...
