Object history | E.806-885-1963, under Prints and Drawings in this list, were formerly in the collection of Dr. Rosa Schapire, and of these the proofs of woodcuts made prior to 1924 were part of the material for her catalogue of Schmidt-Rottluff's graphic work. The Victoria and Albert Museum Library also has a collection of examples of the artist's typographical work, bequeathed by Dr. Schapire in 1955. This print is one of 14 initial letters designed by the artist for Kündung, April-June, Hamburg, 1921. The set comprises E.844-856-1963 and E.1298-1963, which completes the set. |
