Some are still in use today

We tend to think we don’t like his work

ex libris Emma Ammann (Otto Ubbelohde) 012124 Some are still in useHeres a bookplate for Emma Ammann about whom we know nothing save for what we can make up after looking at this. It was made by Otto Ubbelohde (18571922), a German painter, etcher and illustrator who gained international fame for illustrating books of Grimm's Fairy Tales between 1906 and 1908 creating about 450 illustrations of fairy tales. Thats no story.
