During an apparently peaceful night, a town's air-raid siren pierces the air and terrifies everyone within earshot. Weber somehow replicates this experience in a purely visual medium, borrowing a siren from Greek mythology and placing her in a strictly contemporary setting.
Dorsch (2247) informs us that the lithograph dates from 1942 and that the stone was destroyed in 1943 (in an air raid, ironically enough.) Weber himself, in a note about this lithograph, affirms that only two impressions remained when the stone met its doom. He'd probably adready sold and given away a few, but this lithograph is certainly very rare, and this may be the only surviving impression in pristine condition.
An outstanding impression of a large and important lithograph, with full margins.
On extremely fine wove paper.
Signed by the artist.
In perfect condition.
