Yes, "The Smoker" is an etching. I've seen it a couple of times offered. It was always the one published as frontispiece in the Pall Mall Magazine, Vol. XVI containing the Magazine Sep to Dec 1898. Not sure if it was in the Sep 1898 Magazine itself. In the Book it is the first page even before the title page.

Regards
Kai

Hi Tania,

That are great news for my research.
I'm very interested in any detail you may be able to offer. 
As many of the work B.S. has done for individuals it's very hard to find at least examples of the work.
May you please contact me via the email info<at>bernard-schumacher.de ?

So we can follow up with the details ?

Many thanks
Kai

BernardSch,

You may send an email to info<at>bernard-schumacher.de if this is off topic. I've found in between some documents where in some exhibitions during his stay in Ruhleben some work is listed. if you may send me a picture of your artwork would be great. You may also check out the list under:
http://www.bernard-schumacher.info/werke.html
The #199 - 214 are ones I found listed in these documents ....

Hi,

I'm working on the story and work of Etcher / Painter Bernard Schumacher (1872-1932).
He was growing up in London and he was becoming a Member of the Royal Academy of Art.
At the beginning of the 20th century his Family (from Bremen) returned to Germany.
From his family I learned, that he was detained at the beginning of the WWI "near Berlin".

From the nice http://ruhleben.tripod.com/ site I found out that he was in Ruhleben until his departure. Back in Berlin he found his studio robbed - especially all his copper plates. He had shortly got a German Passport and was short after he was in the German Army and was then again prisoner of war - as a German in Bucharest.

If you are interested, a Picture of Bernard Schumacher can be found at  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Schumacher ...
(Sorry the wiki entry I made is only available in German - need to be translated).
Some pictures of his work can be found at https://www.pinterest.com/ifxquest/bernard-schumacher-werke/

Let me know if anything else if of interest for you and the Ruhleben Story.

I'd be interested if there is way to get a scan of the original entry - mentioned on the tripod site - from MT 9/1094. List 10 "Camp Changes including removals etc. since 29th November 1916".

Regards
Kai
