Now the fairy picture.

Käse Dietrich-Schöne? No, it can’t be “Käse” because that’s cheese. :-D

these are beautiful! Great find. Writing is clearly German. Artist name appears to me to be Dietrich-schone. Hard to decipher first name. Could be Hans but it looks like there is an umlaut so that's throwing me off.

Käthe Dietrich-Schöne!!

Maybe...

Edited to correct spelling (Käte to Käthe)

Tada!

Dietrich-Schone? Oh, thank you. I was just able to find this.

Oh, you got it, too, Sammy!

And another auction result: https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/auktionshaus-franke/catalogue-id-srauka10003/lot-0a5708f9-5593-409e-87ef-a4c600feb34d

I’ve been reading a lot of hand-written family records lately in German. Glad it was able to help someone else!

Oh: And Origin. Handschnitt. means “original hand cut”

Lovely!! I collect Scherenschnitte....but have nothing as lovely as these!

They are beautiful. All of mine are new, and not nearly as intricate.

I wish you all could see these in person. The skill in the cut is just remarkable. Some of the lines are well less than a millimeter wide, in fact only as wide as the lines that mark off mm on my engineering ruler. I wish I could have met the artist.
