Heubner, Friedrich Leonhard (Dresden 1886 – Munich 1974). The Swell. Rowed by a good fellow into the reed for goose – but so far only the shot cartridge cases fill the boat. Pen and ink with wash. Inscribed: F H (19)19. 235 x 300 mm.

Vollmer II, 436. – “For god’s sake Mister Hunzelmeier, why you always shoot both barrels at once --- ? (?) – why not I can afford it -- !” Cartoon from Heubner’s (the “F” of the monogram here readable as “T”) time in Munich, so editor’s note, for the “(Youth)” or one of the other illustrated papers for which he worked. Title + subtext – in German – in pencil by supposedly a member of the editors.
