I need some assistance from your collection wisdom.
I am working with one of my faculty who wants to use the attached image
in a publication. To do that, he needs a complete and confirmed
citation for this image. It is by Lyonel Feininger and is an
illustration which he did for Lustige Blatter. The only reference we
have is: 1904, Lustige Blatter, no.19. This information was provided by
the person who passed along the image to my person at UD.
But the image might not be from 1904. There is a small mark following
Feininger's signature which might be 04. The 1904 volume of Lustige
Blatter is indeed volume 19, but the provided reference could mean issue
19 and Lustige Blatter was essentially a weekly, so there would be an
issue 19 each year.
There are a few fully digitized volumes from Heidelberg but this image
is not in any of them. We've been hunting through catalogues and
monographs, but have found very little scholarship on Feininger's
pre-1906 work. And we think this is pre-1906. We've been hunting online
and have found some issues of Lustige Blatter at LACMA (Rifkind Center)
but no images online. Have hunted through the online presence of
various Feininger archives but still nothing.
We have identified an small exhibition catalogue from 2000 - Lyonel
Feininger: lustige Blatter: aus einer Privatsammlung - which might be
helpful. it is nearby - at UPenn - so my faculty will go there and have
a look.
There are microfilm and paper copies in libraries in Germany, but
without really knowing the year in question, that's a bit of a stretch
for any ILL borrowing.
Can anyone suggest something which might help us nail down a citation
for this image?
Many thanks.
Susan
