i have to say the types of books you can pick up for next to nothing in this world amazes me. looking through the bargain bin at the strand is a treasure hunt every time. what i’d like to share today is some work from a 1969 book called deutsche druckgraphik. sammlung rothe or german prints from the collection of wolfgang and maria rothe. it’s an absolute gem. great print examples in many different styles. only wish they were in color. i’ve searched the web and found nothing on this collection. perhaps it was donated to a museum at some point, or perhaps not. in any case all i can offer by way of information on the plates to follow are the artists’ names. hope you enjoy.
