    I got this print of Dutch soldier. I saw similar selling on the ebay, but I am interested in its origin (artist and publisher).
    Thanks.

    From the style and typeface, probably 1960s.

    The artist may be Wolfgang Tritt. I found other prints and postcards of Dutch and other nationalities of soldiers that were described as:

    "WOLFANG TRITT - terza serie
    La terza serie di cartoline edita da Adolf Korsch dedicate alle opere di W. Tritt
    sono catalogate dal n° 19126 al n° 19149"
    Regno di Sassonia 1810
    Maggiore di artiglieria a cavallo

    WOLFGANG TRITT - third series
    The third series of postcards published by Adolf Korsch devoted to the works of W. Tritt are cataloged from No. 19,126 to No. 19149
    Kingdom of Saxony 1810
    of horse artillery Maggiore

    All I could find on Tritt:
    "Wolfgang Tritt was a German visual artist who was born in 1913. Several works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'Street of Berlin' sold at Agra-Art 'Fine Art' in 2008. The artist died in 1983."

    Then this ebay German site showing a series of Tritt soldiers in postcard form. I don't know if one like your pic is in the group or not?

    Ricardo Sanfeliz did similar illustrations. What I found on Google Images seemed to reference a series of cavalry themed stamps issued by Spain in 1969.

    Judging by the signature W.Tritt should be the author.
    Thank you for all the links and investigative reaserch. If I understand correctly, in all the links(although there is no size mentioned) they refer to them as cards and somewhere as post cards? Mine are 13x11 inches and printed on high quality, heavy paper, with finely done border. My guess is that they were intended to be framed

    There is also this other print which is damaged in one place, and it looks like someone tried to erase the signature from its surface.

    They're kind of cool looking. Great décor pieces, even if not worth a whole lot.
