Order number: 13764
Comments: * Thieme-Becker 1; Vollmer 1; not with Gutenberg; Brown type 30. - Anner attended art schools in Zurich and Geneva, after which he studied at the art academy in Munich, among others with Johann Leonard Raab, from whom he learned to etch. In 1897 he returned to Switzerland and worked from 1901 until his death as a drawing teacher at the district school in Brugg in the canton of Aargau. Bookplates are only one component of his diverse oeuvre - he painted, drew, etched, composed and created stage sets - and Braungart attributes him to the landscapers: "The vast majority of the sheets present landscape motifs that are realistic - with occasional slight stylization - are carried out, but thanks to their decidedly graphic conception, their arrangement in space and, more recently, also have a decorative effect thanks to suitable framing. " (ELZ 22 (1912), p. 149). - Good copy.
