In zeer goede staat!

Ik vond enige uitleg over de geschiedenis van Hummel op de Engelstalige website hummelgifts.com:

Berta Hummel was born in Bavaria in 1909 with a wonderful gift – an instinct for perceiving her world and translating her observations into drawings.
In 1927, the aspiring artist enrolled in Munich’s famed State School of Applied Arts where she underwent rigorous instruction in art history, life drawing, watercolor and oil painting.
She entered the Convent of Siessen in 1931, a teaching order in Saulgau that emphasized the arts. 
In 1934, Berta Hummel took her vows along with the name Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel.
As she adjusted to convent life, Maria Innocentia found fulfillment in teaching art to kindergarteners. She also began to sketch the endearing pictures of children that would someday make her famous.
In 1933, Josef Müller, the owner of the renowned Catholic publisher, Ars Sacra of Munich, received a letter from the Convent of Siessen, along with drawing samples by one of their novices. The convent was seeking publication of the artwork of the soon-to-be Sister M.I. Hummel.
Ars Sacra immediately recognized the appeal of the artwork. They envisioned turning the drawings into merit pictures for students, art postcards and communion souvenirs.
It was in 1935 that a postcard printed by ARS caught the eye Franz Goebel, fourth generation head of W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik, a renowned porcelain company in Rödental. The rest is M.I. Hummel history!

PS: Sadly, Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel suffered from tuberculosis and died in 1946 at the age of only 37.
