Question
My mother inlaw has passed away and my husband and i are finding many antiques and possible collectibles.  We found quite a few lithographs by Franz Hanfstaengl, which depict the acts of the works by Richard Wagner.  COpyrighted 1896.  Can you tell me anything about this?  are they valuable?

Answer
Dear Darlene,

Thank you for your question. Franz Hanfstaengl is an important German lithograph and photograph.

If the lithographs are original ones, they must be valuable. But I am not an art expert. You should go to an antique dealer for an evaluation.

Best regards,

Lise Rebout
