Adolf von Gerlach, Baron von Münchhausen
Adolf von Gerlach, Baron von Münchhausen is represented in this archive by a single sheet illustrating the Adventures du Baron Munchhausen, a subject drawn from the tall-tale tradition surrounding the legendary baron. The artist's association with this material places the work within the popular illustrated literature of the nineteenth century, where narrative scenes were rendered for wide circulation. This collection holds one example, with dates recorded as 1866, though later impressions may be included among the sheets. Viewers should note that any such printings extend beyond the artist's lifetime and are not necessarily contemporary with the original publication.
