A superb, richly-inked impression, with pronounced burr throughout, on heavy buff wove Japan, with full margins (2 1/4 to 3 1/8 inches).

The gate depicted here is in the town of Ribnitz, a location where Feininger often spent his summers. Jennifer Roberts from MOMA writes that “this print, a high point in Feininger's oeuvre of some sixty-five intaglios from 1906 to 1924, was published after the war in Die Schaffenden, an important series of German print portfolios.” Feininger returned to the United States in 1937 to avoid Nazi persecution as a "degenerate" artist; thereafter his printmaking was confined to a small group of lithographs made with noted printer George C. Miller in New York in the 1950s.
