Description
With pencil designated "10. Dr." at the bottom left, "M. Klinger / 9.6.14" at the bottom right. Catalogue of works: Beyer 385. Without passepartout. Loaned to the Gutenberg-Museum Mainz in May 1944 by the Painting Gallery of the City of Mainz in the context of the exhibition "Buchkunst und Graphik unserer Zeit" (Book Art and Graphics of our Time), therefore note of run no. 51 as well as note "Raum 2 Max Klinger Kalender" from the loan list on the back of the sheet.
Provenance
transferred in September 1943 by the OFP Hessen in Darmstadt to the Painting Gallery and the Museum of Antiquities of the City of Mainz, tax office identification number: M. St. 88/851. Probably confiscated by the Mainz tax office in September 1942 after the deportation of the owners. The identity of the owner (presumably a Mainz collector specializing in prints of the Berlin Secession and the 1920s) has not yet been clarified.
