While doing the migration away from Tumblr and adding old drafts I also checked some links. The one pointing to the Google Image search showed two new Ric prints (see Ric 27 )and Ric 28 ). And as if that weren’t enough luck, I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the description: Someone not only claimed to have solved the Ric mystery, he also provided proof. Since I’m still in my migration project, I didn’t manage to update all affections sections and pages yet. But the relevant part of the eBay description has it’s own page now. Great work Mark!

[Update 1. October 2020]: This entry is now always the first, new entries start below.
Short description: This is my third print of the Sailing boats (Ric 07 ). This print is interesting because it is not framed behind glass, but has been mounted on cardboard. The sheet has also been cropped to such an extent that not even the signature has been preserved.
Notes: Found on a flea market in Hannover.
Das Haus der Frau
One of the experts helping me out from time to time is Gerbrand Caspers, also known as The Linosaurus , has started a new project. I’ve been following his work for about a decade and his colloction of woodcut prints is quite impressive. Please have a look at his new project website Das Haus der Frau , he also offeres a printed lexicon containing the results of his research.

Short description: This is a painting of the motive found on Ric 20 . The title is probably “Treppengasse”, which is in Altenburg , Germany.
Since it’s a painting and not another copy of the etching, it get’s it’s own number (Ric 32).
Notes: Found by Andra Robertson at an estate sale, send to me by mail.
