Menzel Book Scan

A few years ago I scanned some of Adolph Menzel's Drawings from a book or something. If you don't know his work, consider it a nice introduction. His drawings are a wealth of information, conveying so much character and life, often portrayed in stunning shorthand and brevity, using every part of the pencil/crayon/charcoal to tell the story.

 A recommended book is "Adolph Menzel 1815-1905 Between Romanticism and Impressionism."

Some of the scans ( I didn't edit them in anyway, but they probably need a bit of cleaning up).
