J. C. von Grimmelshausen (1669).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this portfolio of twelve masterful etchings and aquatints, Klinger created images that embraced Romantism, Symbolism and the sublime in various ways to explore his favorite themes of desire, fantasy, and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2012 Museum purchase with funds from the Dorothy Stiles Blankfort \u201831 Fund and the Robert A. and Minna F.
