Hello!

I´ve got this wonderful painting (print) of an 1870/71 scene.

Probably we see Ludwig Freiherr von und zu der Tann-Rathsamhausen, leader of the bavarian 1st army corps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Freiherr_von_und_zu_der_Tann-Rathsamhausen

Is someone able to read the signature of the artist, please?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Well…

I thought it is P M 

and surname starting Kir with one or maybe two more letters

 

P.M. Kir… does not exist.

 

The first letter looks like a P should

but it also looks like a G could

 

so I’m gonna stick my neck out and say…

G.M. Kirn

he does/did exist

I agree: GM Kirn.

Hi Tony!

Great work! Thanks a lot! That must be him!

I´d like to know, if the painting is in that book...

When’s your birthday?   😊

[The Prussian]

In 4 months...😃

Seems appropriate then to buy it for yourself... i hear you’ve been a good boy this year.   Just promise to ‘pay yourself back’ a pound a day til your birthday & sorted.

 

Seriously, It actually seems to be a scarce book, it would go nicely with that lovely piece you have.

 

But otherwise there’s this 👇

 

 

It’s cheaper but in Australia

& in the description it says ‘facsimile edition’... from 1987?

 

You really should get one of them

PS

Georg Michael Kirn

1810 - 1882

Hello!

Yes, i' ve seen the copies. But these are reprints. I'd like to have an original one, but they are pretty expensive...

Is that AbeBooks one the real deal? at 130 its worth it if your picture is in it but if it isn’t... 🥺

[The Prussian]

That´s it. I´d like to know, if it´s inside. I don´t need that book badly, I just want to know which scene that painting shows.

I bet you there is a return guarantee to exploit…😉

Too much work...I´m a lazy old man...😄
