The Daulton Collection
A rare rejected plate for Brömse's first print cycle, Tod und Mädchen. This state does not appear in the published literature on Brömse and his work; and this impression may be unique. For a much different, probably earlier, state of this rejected plate, see Gabriela Kašková, ed., Schattenseiten: August Brömse und Kathrin Brömse (Regensburg: Stiftung Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie in Regensburg, 2011), pg. 39, Kat. 27.
