About this Item

Hard-cover. Limited edition. This first edition was held to a total of fifty copies only, of which this is number 30. Five exquisite matted woodcuts on onion skin paper, each woodcut signed and numbered. The title page also contains a print and the artist's signature. They illustrate the (unsuccessful) attempt of the wolf to eat the billy-goats and his dire fate. Klemm was one of the great animal engravers, a prolific illustrator, a member of the Weimar Art School (and also, occasionally, an illustrator of pornography). The boards are faded, the mats brown, but the engravings are as fresh as if just executed.
