SUMMARY
Wood engraving from Die Gartenlaube, a widely circulated 19th-century German illustrated family magazine, published in the 1895 Sammelband but captioned within the engraving itself 'Wörishofen Aug. [18]94' (confirmed on visual inspection), i.e. it depicts an August 1894 scene and was published the following year. Shows Kneipp on a raised platform under an open-sided timber pavilion addressing a large seated crowd (roughly 80-100+ figures). Commons metadata tags it public domain (pre-1900 periodical engraving, no living author, license held via age). No direct institutional holding record (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek, Wellcome, Library of Congress, Gallica) was found for this specific plate beyond the Wikimedia Commons upload; this is a Commons-only source per the routine's holding-record search requirement, noted here rather than silently treated as institutionally held.
NOTES

Illustrates the scale of public demand the charismatic-practitioner and exclusive-access stages describe: a mass-circulation magazine depicting Kneipp addressing a crowd of cure-seekers rather than a single patient.
