Another area to see very good examples of German graphic art is/are, early 20th century bookplates. Some are intricate, some very simple, and above all entertaining to say the least.
Subject matter as wide and broad as the imagination! Another unique aspect is that we can take a peak into the favorite personal themes of the named individual, who marked his/her property with these noteworthy illustrations.
Woodblock, intaglio, line-art and so many other fine and difficult hand printing methods it literally boggles the mind. Naturally, only applicable with the pre-existing notion that you like this stuff too, heh ...
