Hello,
Today I'm showing you sheet 21K of the "Künstlerische Soldatenbögen" (Artistic Soldier Sheets) by Josef Scholz. It shows Swiss infantry in the uniforms from 1935/36. The figures are exceptionally large, with a height of 12.5cm to 14cm.
Unfortunately, this beautiful collector's item always makes me a little sad when I look at it. The sheet had survived well for 80 years - then the German post got hold of it. Although it was packaged pretty well, it arrived crumpled and damaged. It's a real shame! But what can you do? These pieces don't grow back and that's why it's important to preserve it, even if it was damaged completely unnecessarily.
Best wishes,
Andreas
