A very rare set of 14 postcards from Originalgrafik - Serie 1: Koln, published by Klaus Staeck.

1968-1969, each card 4 x 5.75, with an original color graphic on the front inspired by the city of Cologne, Germany.

This is a mix of first and second issues. The first issue cards have the imprint of Edition Tangente in the lower left of the verso. The second issues have Edition Staeck. However all of them are vintage productions, as evidenced by the old address of 69 Heidelberg and the age of the paper.
