Margarethe Donate is also known by a series of 5 postcard editions printed from the original (small) etching plates, possibly commissioned by a postcard “Verlag” although they also could be a private, commercial enterprise by the artist herself. Likewise a postcard edition of (4) lithographically reproduced drawings exist.
Courtesy of Giesela, a relative (Margarethe was her “Großtante”) who has send all these pictures for sharing. They include also the original drawings of Margerethe’s drawings of het father’s ancestral farm house in Sönitz, some 15 km. NE of Dresden. The seat of this Donath family.
Also came to light (what looks like) a postcard edition of a woodblock print by Margarethe Donath….. (to look out for).

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:
While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.
During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.
