Mystery Print:

For those interested in the identity of the printmaker of the mystery print in before last posting: it was by:

Louise Schnitzler-Wintermeyer

(1894 Wiesbaden -1871 Königstein)


Some 100 readers have seen the print of the Flower market last week (3 of them leaving comments, thank you). 


With the one above (Latin: Lonicera, English: Honeysuckle, German: Geis, French: Chèvre feuilles, Dutch: Kamperfoelie


Two examples of this German printmaker are now known (to me). See also the posting of march 2th 2011:

Mystery print

Quiz time

I would like readers to give a direct and honest opinion of this print. I don't think it will be recognized. But, without directly knowing who made it, (I do), is there some one who dares give an opinion: Do you like it ? Is it good or is it mediocre or maybe even a sad print. What is it stylish, when (about) was it made. Does it make you think of some one or do you have a suggestion, do you happen to know comparable  prints ? 

I'll give away it is German and obviously a flower market. And it very well may have been owned by the maker or his/her family. It's biggish: 36 x 40 cm. It has received a new blue matt. And with a saw and glasscutter a vintage 1950's car boot simple wooden frame was made to fitt today. (Do you like it ?)
And here's the details in the advertising board (?) on the wall of the house upper left.


Maybe the text (old German) starts before the picture, there's no clue, (but I don't think so)  so it could say: Reich...... or even Frankreich......... (middle sentence) and last sentence could say: FaWos........ (company name Wos......)
