Kollwitz on the sale of her prints and drawings. Kollwitz responds to a potential buyer, the Polish industrialist Nathan Marx, to whom Lesser Ury also writes in this collection. She tells him that none of her prints are available, since she has recently sold the majority of these to ‘Richter’ in Dresden. She plans to keep the rest in her collection. However, her drawings remain available, and there are many at her house in Berlin where she would be pleased to receive Marx. In a separate postcard she also promises him a new print from her Bauernkrieg series.
