Etchings by Stefan Eggeler for Die Herzen der Konige (1922) by Hanns Heinz Ewers:
From the collection of Richard Sica
As I noted in the last post of Stefan Eggeler’s work (Walpurgisnacht), there’s little information on him in English. Here’s his bio (via):
An Austrian painter, printmaker and illustrator, Stefan Eggeler (1894 – 1969) studied art at the Vienna Academy. His first original etching was published in 1914 and during the following twenty years he created a number of outstanding engravings and etchings, most dealing with either figure studies or interior scenes.
As Richard pointed out, the images featured here “obviously represent the gentle and benevolent hand that these Kings used on their subjects.”
