"A high-contrast historical illustration, split-panel infographic for a story about Hans Steininger, with an aged paper background. Left panel: 'THE 7-FOOT BEARD' portrait of Steininger in a 16th-century velvet tunic, holding his floor-length braided beard in a velvet pouch. A vintage map of Braunau, Austria, is visible behind him. Text box: 'MAYOR HANS STEININGER, BRAUNAU, 1500s'. Right panel: 'DISASTER STRIKES!', showing Steininger on a spiral staircase engulfed in flames and smoke. He trips and is falling, with his own beard tangled under his feet. A prominent 'ACCIDENTAL FALL, 1567' text with a skull icon. The text reads: 'A 4.5-FOOT BEARD... BUT IN 1567... HE STEPPED ON IT!' below. Bottom right, a stylized museum display case with 'MUSEUM EXHIBIT' text, showing a fragment of the famous beard. The whole image has a dramatic and slightly grim tone, with bold, legible typography and a warm, sepia color palette."
