Description: |
Fine impression on wove paper, showing fold marks. This is apparently not an original print by Shahn, but a photo-lithographed drawing, used as a poster advertisement for the recording of Weill's masterpeice, recorded in Germany in 1958 and starring and under the direction of Lotte Lenya, the composer's widow. The image is striking. And ephemera like this can become rare, as this one apparently is as it does not seem to turn up for sale by dealers in posters. |
