August Gaul
Kriegszeit, no. 62 (mid-February 1916)1916

Not on view
Print cover of German publication 'Kriegszeit,' February 1916, with a sketched illustration of a large horned ram in the foreground, a flock of sheep, a walking figure, and distant mountains
Black and white print combining a loose, energetic ink drawing at top with dense columns of German text below. The drawing depicts a crowded scene of soldiers or figures in dynamic, sketchy linework, dated 1915 with a handwritten signature at lower right.
Lithograph landscape of a dense tangle of fallen and splintered tree trunks in the foreground, with bare standing trees and hilly terrain receding into the background, rendered in bold black gestural marks on white.
Pen and ink drawing of a military horse-drawn column in motion, with helmeted soldiers and straining horses rendered in rapid, energetic linework; a spoked wheel visible at left. German text below reads "Kolonne im Vormarsch."
