Bernhard Klein, Die schöne Rarität 2 no. 9 (1918)
Woodcut print in black and white depicting several figures in a densely composed outdoor scene; a helmeted warrior with a spear at upper left, two standing figures at lower left, and a crouching robed figure at lower right, with angular foliage, a rearing animal, and bold gestural cuts throughout.
Relief print in black and white depicting a heart-shaped face with two eyes and lashes, surrounded by flowing flame-like lines above and wavy lines to the left, set against a densely carved black background with horizontal line texture on the right.
