Der Leuchter (1936) (The Candelabra)
Illustrated by Sulamith Wülfing
The collection of plates offered by Wülfing in Der Leuchter demonstrate her devotion to capturing the very essence of Being - in line, contrasting colour and shading. In his introduction to Der Leuchter, Otto Schulze - Wülfing's husband (also Professor at the Art College in Wuppertal) - notes her particular success in details including the clarity of the night sky, the delicate lines created by the fall of costumes and bejeweled thrones and garments.
Schulze's praise is well-placed - Wülfing's images of Angels, Crystal Children, phases of Human Development and dreams are delightful. |

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is hand-finished and the images are presented on Ivory card stock with an accompanying envelope. The rear of each card carries information about Sulamith Wülfing, this wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards blank so that you may write your own personal message.
Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options below. Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information about Sulamith Wülfing, this suite and the profiled illustration.
To purchase, simply click on the appropriate "Add to Cart" button and you will be taken through to our Shopping Cart secured through PayPal.
