Christmas Eve 2017

If you celebrate Christmas, have a good one!  My gift to you is this lovely graphic by Wenzel Oswald, illustration for Himmlische Mär by Leo Blonder, 1914. Wiener Werkstätte. Via 50watts.  I can find no information about this artist, who seems to have disappeared after 1934.  Anyone know anything about him?  He deserves to be remembered.

Cheers!

    Beautiful. I'd like to see more of his art, too.

    I hope all your dreams come true this Christmas (they won't :)) but still, I hope!

    Looking forward to another year of friendship and your wonderful posts x
