Re: Color Carbon

I saw one of his color prints a long time ago, It belonged to someone
who has since passed away but my recollection is that it had a lot of
relief. Kauffman also worked with carbon color as well as carbro so
unless his prints are identified the amount of relief might be the
only clue.
