Old Postcards - Fritz Reiss - The Black Forest [1]
We have posted several times about the wonderful art of Winold Reiss, an artist whose work was celebrated by the Great Northern Railroad in the early 1900s. His portraits of Native Americans are especially popular. Winold's father, Fritz Reiss, was a German lithographer, illustrator, printmaker, and painter. We were lucky to find some postcards featuring Fritz's work and will be posting these cards over the next few days.
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
