Uhl, Joseph 5 sheets from *Ein Liebes-Mysterium*: “Erwachen”; “Dämon Sinnlichkeit (revised)”; *Liebes-Mysterium*; “Verlassen” and “Tanz der Gemeinheit.” 5 (of 12) etchings. Each in cross-folio format. Each signed, numbered “45,” “17,” “47,” “29,” and “46,” and four prints each hand-titled in the lower left corner; two prints signed by the publisher “Heinr. Wetteroth München gdr" in the white margin below the image. Circa 1913. See Eugen Kalkschmidt, “Joseph Uhl. Ein neuer Radierer,” in: Zeitschrift für bildende Kunst, 1911, p. 105 ff. Sheets 4, 5, 8, 10, and 11 of the 12-part suite, here presented as prints outside the 1913 edition, which was published in 40 numbered copies. Magnificent, extremely sharp, and in some cases wonderfully high-contrast early prints with wide margins, each featuring full crop margins on two sides. Slightly dusty overall; the margins show some light handling marks in places, with isolated and barely noticeable foxing; otherwise in uniformly fine and pristine original condition. Extremely rare. - Please ask for condition reports for the lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
