Abstract
Eichenberg's engraving is titled, numbered, and signed. It is loosely enclosed in a portfolio. Eichenberg's style is distinctive. I recognize it immediately from his fable work. This wood engraving is significantly lighter and more readable than the print accompanying the fable, enclosed in a separate folio. See that folio's catalogue record for a description of the literary text. This engraving seems to picture the dying fall of the last eagle. Notice the eagle skull at the bottom of the illustration. As always in Eichenberg, the illustration provokes a strong response! Numbered #275 of 500.
