Antique Paul Geissler Original Pencil Signed Architectural Etchings Rothenburg and Nuremberg Pair

Created by the esteemed German printmaker and professor Paul Geissler (1881–1965), this matched pair of original pencil-signed etchings offers an exceptional example of early twentieth-century academic graphic art. Geissler gained international recognition for his precise, highly detailed architectural streetscapes and landscapes. Executed in 1920, these particular works depict the historic White Tower in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and the dramatic pentagonal tower entrance to Nuremberg Castle. The masterful command of line and shadow documents the historic architecture of Bavaria while securing the enduring collectability of Geissler's catalog. With both pieces retaining the artist's original handwritten German titles and signatures in the lower margins, this pairing provides a rare opportunity to acquire a cohesive set of premium European printmaking.
