Specialist note

Schiefler and Dube record only one impression, presumably the present one, and no other example has come to light since.

We are grateful to Professor Dr. Günther Gercken, Lütjensee, Germany, for his assistence in cataloguing this lot. Professor Gercken is currently preparing the catalogue raisonné of prints by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the first two volumes of which (1904-1911) have been published last year (Galerie Kornfeld Verlag, Bern, 2013). The present, probably unique impression will be illustrated in a subsequent volume.
