Both prints are original woodcuts printed directly from the artist's hand-carved block ("Original-Holzschnitt vom Stock gedruckt"), issued especially for the catalog of the aforementioned Verein Berliner Künstler 1973 exhibition. On high-quality textured paper. Condition: Excellent. The paper is clean, with no severe folds, tears, or damp stains (foxing).
