Description
Austrian puppeteer/printmaker Richard Teschner created a world of goblins, elves, gnomes, trolls, aliens, pixies and other mythic creatures for his Javanese inspired puppet theater and his prints in the early 20th century Vienna, Austria.
This surreal aquatint is of a figure, with a mask and armor riding a dragon-like unicorn, accompanied by its offspring. The trio wends its way through a magic forest and a field of candle-like structures. It was similar to, but not included in, a series of prints he did between 1914 and 1916 titled "Album of Eight Original Etchings".
