Description from the seller
Complete original graphic portfolio containing 10 loose prints depicting historic landmarks and architectural views of Zittau (Upper Lusatia, Germany) by German painter and printmaker Kurt Görner (1905–1979).
Special feature: Each of the 10 graphic plates is hand-signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right margin ("Görner").
Kurt Görner studied at the Berlin University of Fine Arts and lived and worked as a freelance painter and graphic artist in Zittau from 1936 until his death. Published privately by the artist around 1970, this portfolio captures iconic views of Zittau in subtle multi-tone prints (black, grey, and white), including St. John's Church (Johanniskirche) with the Roland Fountain, the Town Hall, the Flower Clock (Blumenuhr), the Salt House (Salzhaus), the Monastery Church, and a panoramic view of the city with the Zittau Mountains. Housed in the original softcover portfolio with a blue linocut/block-print title illustration on the front.

Seller's Story
We are a partnership of three established antiquarian bookshops in Prague: Antikvariát Radhošťská, Antikvariát Dlážděná, and Antikvariát Vltavín.
Together, we bring decades of experience in sourcing, researching, and handling rare books, prints, maps, manuscripts, graphic art, photographs, and other historical and collectible objects. Our material comes from private collections, family estates, libraries, and long-standing contacts throughout the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
We are particularly passionate about antiquarian and collectible books, fine prints, Prague-related material, art publications, bibliofilia, early editions, historical documents, and unique objects with cultural or historical significance. Alongside books, we regularly offer graphic art, old maps, posters, and carefully selected collectibles that we believe deserve an international audience.
Every lot is individually chosen for its quality, rarity, historical interest, or visual appeal. We strive to provide accurate descriptions, careful research, and secure professional packaging to ensure that each item reaches its new owner safely.
From the heart of Prague, we are delighted to share the rich cultural heritage of Central Europe with collectors around the world.
