Title: Wolfgang Unger / Mohr - Easter Parade
Post by: marko on October 06, 2025, 02:18:51 PM

As some may have noticed I have a weakness for sets engraved by Mohr which this is one of many.  I saw the attached as painted on Facebook by Roland König  (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2279478865706545/user/100009541460933/?__cft__[0)and the painting is exquisite!

Set was purchased via Berliner Zinnfiguren  and took 5 days for delivery from Berlin.

The photos of catalog pages are not from Berliner Zinnfiguren's catalog, or more precisely more recent catalogs.  What is that reference?

This is from a book on Mohr by Editions Krannich - The Tin World of Franz Karl Mohr II - which includes a number of drawings by Mohr which were used for engraving his figures.

Edition Krannich pulishes a large number of books on Flat Figures.  They are in German a rather pricey to get to the US.  (The book on Flats by Mike Taylor is quite nice and includes different pictures than his english edition on flats for the most part.)

Thank you, good catch on the different photos between the English and German versions of Taylor's books!  Will look for those.

Wolfgang Unger figures are always a joy to see and own 


When I was selling them they would fly off the table at shows, great figures   ;)
