Description

Oblong 8vo (postcard). 1 page. Inscribed to the German dermatologist Alwin Scharlau: "Ich komme gerne Ihrem Wunsche nach und verbinde damit die Empfehlung der Monographien 'Die Kunst dem Volke' der allgemeinen Vereinigung für christliche Kunst, die ich ins Leben gerufen habe und redigiere, sie werden sicher Ihren Beifall finden […]". - Starting out in his father's altar building workshop in Groß-Steinheim, Busch went on to work as a freelance artist in Munich, working with bronze, stone and wood, and applying himself to Christian motifs. His oeuvre included monuments for bishops, altars, Stations of the Cross, war memorials and tombs. - Traces of a small round stamp. Self-addressed by the collector on the reverse. The Mecklenburg physician Scharlau (b. 1888) assembled a collection of artists' autographs by personal application.
