Heinrich Kühn
Untitled
1910
Gum gravure on Japan paper. 17 x 23 cm (28 x 39.9 cm). Inscribed lower right in pencil 'Annan'.
This still life is one of only three motifs with which Kühn illustrated his 1921 publication “Technik der Lichtbildnerei”. Kühn acquired the Japan paper for his prints from his photographer colleague James Craig Annan, whose surname he noted on the print lower right.
