<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 36307, member: 44"]Found this postcard. The webpage insinuates the artist was Emil Beithan; however, I agree with Mat that the sig. on the card says Emil Gusman or Gutman. The webpage has pictures of several of his postcards with yours as one of them - 6th down. The page says this about them:</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b>"Hideous Children Of World War One! </b></font></p><p>Was this collection of <b>"homunculi"</b>an Imperial German secret weapon? Really who thought these postcards of German peasant children circa 1914-1916 were"cute?" The artist was <b>Emil Beithan</b> and his artistry is good but ...REALLY?"</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://ilikethethingsilike.blogspot.com/2011/08/hideous-children-of-world-war-one.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ilikethethingsilike.blogspot.com/2011/08/hideous-children-of-world-war-one.html" rel="nofollow">http://ilikethethingsilike.blogspot.com/2011/08/hideous-children-of-world-war-one.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some auction results of Emil Beithan:</p><p><a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/emil-beithan/past-auction-results" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/emil-beithan/past-auction-results" rel="nofollow">http://www.artnet.com/artists/emil-beithan/past-auction-results</a></p><p>A little info on him:</p><p><a href="http://www.akpool.co.uk/categories/34466-postcards-artist-beithan-emil" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.akpool.co.uk/categories/34466-postcards-artist-beithan-emil" rel="nofollow">http://www.akpool.co.uk/categories/34466-postcards-artist-beithan-emil</a></p><p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://galleria.thule-italia.com/emil-beithan/&prev=search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://galleria.thule-italia.com/emil-beithan/&prev=search" rel="nofollow">http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://galleria.thule-italia.com/emil-beithan/&prev=search</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and presumably a book about his post cards has been published.
