Holle weg in Limburg 1869 - 1937

Anton L. Koster made this print of a sunken road in Limburg with etching. I imagine Koster working on the metal plate. It's a tough scene, you know? I can almost feel the texture of the road under my feet, the way the light filters through the trees. This isn't about high drama; it's about daily life. Koster is doing something pretty radical. He's making the ordinary feel important, and I think that's really brave. Think about the way he scratched into that plate to create this image! It's like he's saying, "Hey, look at this. This is worth our time." It makes you wonder what Koster was thinking, and what he wanted us to see.
