Description

The grouping consists of photos, death cards, newspaper cuttings, badges, and documents. Including three colored large-size (40x30 cm) portrait photos. It is very interesting, that the brothers were at the same time in Paris. Each photo is dated "Paris 1942" as well as signed by the same artist.
