ARCHIVE
Jewish Lina Borchhardt-Ehrmann was one of the exhibitors in the original 1914 BUGRA “Das Haus der Frau Auustelling”. 70 years old she was deported to and murdered, left to perish, in Theresienstadt by the Nazis.
This is the only example (monogrammed LE lower right) of her work that came to light so far.
For historic reasons I would very much like to find a copy of this print.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:
While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.
During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.
