Halftrack prints

[Normandy]

I was wondering if anyone had any information on these two
Sd Kfz 251 prints. I've had them for years and was told they
come from a set of prints.





I want to put them in frames but was interested to see if there are more prints.

Yes, I believe I've seen offerings of a set of prints which include these two pieces at auctions over past years. They're very striking!

Thank you Gentleman, I've found some links to some of his wartime work.

Vince, thanks for the images of his prints.

Hi,

the lakesidetrader version has the original folder frontcover cut and glued on a modern portefolio.
The original folder is sometimes damaged in the sets currently for sale.

See You

Vince

That's just what I had in mind, Vince -- many thanks for adding great depth to this thread and conversation!

Vince, perfect description. I came in too late

Recently I acquired a set of albums made by Willi Lehner, Panzergrenadier-Regiment 40. He was a very good artist and his albums are decorated with his drawings and hand written typography. One of the drawing reminded me of this portfolio.

Thank you all very much.
I didn't know what to search under and was unable to figure out the artists name.
Mr. Akira Takiguchi, I appreciate the links to the past discussions on
these prints as well as the works of artist Willi Lehner.

You are all a credit to the collecting community!
John.
