Notes

FRONT: "Tietze Sc." is in the lower left corner of the image, 'sc.' abbreviating 'Sculp' or 'Sculpsit.' Compare to MWM2024.0006.0022 and MWM2024.0006.0023. BACK: Name is visible in lower right of foreground rocks. Difficult to make out. Possibly begins with 'A.' as first initial. Then surname begins with 'F' or 'E.' The remaining letters are very incomplete, maybe ('i')('e' or 'r')('l' or 'b')('e') and ('r' or 'z'). The last two symbols resemble the number '16,' OR, another theory is that they might be 'Sc.' for 'Sculpsit,' but it seems unlikely.
