According to Gabler, following a further exhibition at Cassirer in 1919, individual figures from this series may have been reproduced in small numbers, not only in bronze, but also in silver and also in a slightly larger format (cf. Wvz Gabler 65 and 80). According to Gabler, 14 or 15 purchases and sales documented at Cassirer between 1904 and 1915. An edition of 30 estate casts decided in 1921, of which 8 or 9 sales were documented at Cassirer. Some casts more recent. - Dark oxidation in the recesses.
