Etching At bottom right is the printer’s dry stamp AVDBECKE MUENCHEN22 on the lower left corner is a single “K”. Art dealer Alexander von der Becke took over the inventory of Käthe Kollwitz's unsold prints as well as her printing plates. Under the Nazi regime, he suffered from declining sales, as Kollwitz experienced increasing difficulty publishing and exhibiting her work. In 1941 the Gestapo closed his business and confiscated his stock. Re-established in 1946, he subsequently issued posthumous reprints of the thirty Kollwitz etching plates that survived the war. <br><br>Image 9" x 5 1/4" on cream paper sized 14 1/8" x 10 1/4".
