Worse, mine bounced.

When I bid on these I was not aware that reproduction versions were available
again. But even if I had known I would have bid anyway, as I want the
originals. And I won. What Andreas does with the money is his business. I never
attach strings to what other people do with money I freely offer after the
fact... but I certainly would expect that he has good provenance which he will
provide to me as I don't want stolen goods.

Despite that successful purchase of the originals, I see value in being able to
share the repros with local educational institutions, I sent a note (which
bounced) to the address on their page asking them about how I could go about
obtaining copies of the repros for educational use. I offered to pay whatever
was required to cover printing and shipping

Were I able to obtain those, since it says they are for teachers and educators,
they would be used in our school's cultural arts program of which my wife is a
co-chair. I would never resell posters I got for free. Especially not these.

Both my parents were refugees from vassal states of the Evil Empire and endured
the stigma of being refugees at a time when being a refugee wasn't all that
popular.

If anyone has better luck with the email, perhaps they would be so kind as to
drop an offline note to my lpieniazek@mercator.com address... I want to try to
contact UNHCR again.
