Color lithograph by Hansi Crossing the Rhine 1918

This lithograph, entitled "Crossing the Rhine 1918 Return to the Native Land, " is characteristic of Hansi's work. The scene is both narrative and symbolic. The work is created in the tradition of early 20th-century Alsatian silhouette cutouts. This authentic, antique work has its original baguette frame and glass. It bears Hansi's signature (1937) and a dedication. Jean-Jacques Waltz, alias Hansi or Uncle Hansi (1873-1951), was an Alsatian and French illustrator. He was primarily known for his drawings of idyllic village scenes and his biting anti-German caricatures, but he was also a talented watercolorist. We note that the work is pitted, and there are foxing spots in many places, visible in the photos. However, the work remains in presentable condition.
