The large “Auerhahn” (Grouse) was the first print acquired by this obscure Munich printmaker. The large sized bouquet created with many different blocks and one of the finest examples of “flower bouquets” in this collection the last: in June 2023. Finding a copy of the yellow throated bird (hornbill ?) would complete this collections of all known (2023) prints by Erna Ackermann.

Also took part in the 1936 “Große Münchener Kunstausstellung” with a “Tuschzeichnung “ titled “Bootshütten” (charcoal drawing titled “ships houses”).
In Munich: Jewish Theodor Ackermann founded in 1865: “Königliche Hofbuchhandlung und Antiquariat Theodor Ackermann, Promenadenplatz 11”. The firm was forced to close in 1933 by the Nazi regime. Theodor Ackermann was the son of publisher and bookseller Christian Georg Ackermann (1787-1850) who owned and founded the “Ackermannsche Buchhandlung” in Dessau in province Sachsen Anhalt.
