Note:	A Note on The Dusseldorf Gallery: During the latter nineteenth century the city of Dusseldorf grew to be one of the most important centers of painting and etching in all of Germany. Such fine artists as Franz Stegmann, Karl Hoff, Max Volkhart, Carl Irmer, Heinrich Deiters, von Eckenbrecher, Kroener and Jutz produced most of their best paintings and etchings while residing there.
	Such was the appeal of the Dusseldorf etchers that a portfolio of twenty original etchings was published not only in Germany but in America as well.

According to "The Annual American Catalogue", 1887 published in 1888, which contained descriptive notes, of all books recorded in the Publishers' Weekly, 1887, "The Dusseldorf Gallery" portfolio published by Estes and Lauriat included three original etching by Carl Irmer (1834 - 1900), “The Outskirts of the Woods”, ”An early Spring”, and “Landscape with Cows”; three original etchings by Max Volkhart (1848 - 1909), “The Hearing Before the Burgomaster”, “The Reading” and this original etching entitled, “Much Ado About Nothing”; two original etchings by Carl Jutz (1838 - 1916), “A Large Family” and “Ducks”; two original etchings by Jacobus Leisten (1844 - 1918), “Au Revoir” and “The Arrival”; two original etchings by Johann Christian Kroener (1838-1911), “A Swineherd in the Woods” and “Wild Boar at the Stream”; as well as an original etching by each the following German artists, “In the Church” by Franz Stegmann (1831 - 1892); “The Forbidden Passage” by Philip Grotiohann, also listed as 'Philipp Grot Johann' (1841 - 1892); “In the Pasture” by Ernst Bosch (1834 - 1917); “The Lake in the Woods” by G.
