These lids were all purchased from the same estate. The lids descriptions are as follows:

2. Strange scene of man whipping a woman over his knee with a switch. The woman is reaching for a sickle with her right hand to get revenge. This lid is also titled in German, but the only word that is legible is "Lection" which translates to "Lesson".
