Franz Hanfstaengl was a well-known 19th century painter, photographer and lithographer. In 1833, he founded a lithographic establishment in Munich which he operated until 1868, and to which he later added a fine art printing shop and a photographic workshop in 1853. In 1893, the Hanfstaengl Publishing Co. was proclaimed the Art Institute for the Bavarian Court.

Following the death of Franz Hanfstaengl in 1877, the family continued to run the company and maintained the tradition of introducing artists to the firm. Hanfstaengl produced a number of postcards of reproductions of Konstantin Gorbatoff's paintings [see Fig. 1] and the offered lot was commissioned by the company and registered for copyright on 14th January, 1930 and for renewal on 11 December, 1957 [see Fig. 2].

Франц Ханфштенгль был известным художником, фотографом и литографом 19 века. В 1833 году он открыл литографическую мастерскую в Мюнхене, которой руководил до1868 года. В 1853 году к мастерской была добавлена фотостудия и мастерская по печати оттисков картин художников. В 1893 году Издательский дом Ханфштенгля был объявлен Художественным Институтом при Баварском дворе.

После его смерти в 1877 году, династия Ханфштенглев управляла компанией до 1980 года. Издательский дом подготовил серию открыток с работами Константина Горбатова (илл.1). Литографии лота, представленного на торги, были заказаны издательским домом, в соответствии с регистрацией авторских прав 14 января 1930 года и затем, 11 декабря 1957 года (илл.2.).
