Summary note
"In 1923, Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius commissioned 20 unique postcards from faculty and students to promote the school's landmark first exhibition. Each artist worked directly on the lithographic stones that produced the postcards, so they were in fact miniature fine art prints. In celebration of our first gallery exhibition and catalog, this premium box of 60 postcards contains three full-size reproductions of each rarely seen miniature work of art, reproduced in actual size with high-definition raking light photography and stochastic screening to be as true to the originals as possible"-- Provided by publisher.
