These 3 small poultry prints managed to stay together for almost a century. They were found and acquired recently (febr. 2024) and able to stay together because the friendly seller felt sympathetic to my collection goals and passion.

The large “Auerhahn” (Grouse) was the first print acquired by this obscure Munich printmaker many years ago. The large sized bouquet created with many different blocks and one of the finest examples of “flower bouquets” in this entire collection was found in June 2023. Finding a copy the yellow throated bird (hornbill ?) would be wonderful.
