  2. Once Kunst dropped the Secessionist manner (middle print), he cut those blocks with considerable vigour and achieved some startlingly fresh colours. The great thing about his ex libris is that they have not been framed and have tended to stay bright and clean. A nice post, which I think I will have to answer.

  3. They really are gems, and I thought them appropriate on this special day of (a little) gloom, and wine and roses, Looking forward to your answer.
