Description
Folder with 34 woodblock prints on Japan paper. All woodblock prints are presented under numbered mounts; the number on the mount corresponds to the table of contents on the insert sheet of the portfolio. Two copies of color woodblock prints are available, one color woodblock print and one proof print in black and white. The individual sheets are usually monogrammed "EO" in the stock and inscribed in pencil in the lower right-hand corner "Orlik", but not numbered.
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.
