Comments: * Hand signed. "Hans Emil Braun was born in Künzelsau in 1887 as the son of a postal secretary. After the early death of the father, the mother and the children Emil and Lydia moved to their parents' place of residence in Kirchberg. From 1895 Emil attended a boys 'boarding school in Wilhelmsdorf on Lake Constance and then the teachers' college in Künzelsau. In 1904 Braun broke off his training and began a restless wandering life with the aim of embarking on an artistic career. For a short time he enrolled at the arts and crafts schools in Stuttgart and Nuremberg, but then completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller in Stuttgart from 1906 and then worked for some time in the bookstore of the Rauhen Haus in Hamburg. After his military service, Braun got a place at the Stuttgart Art Academy through the mediation of friends, which he attended until 1918, interrupted by renewed military service during the war. At the end of the war Braun returned to his mother and sister in Kirchberg, where he mainly worked as an eraser. In 1927 Braun moved to Stuttgart after a short marriage failed. Although the renowned art writer and graphic expert Hans Wolfgang Singer had attested to his extraordinary talent at the end of the 1920s, Braun-Kirchberg did not succeed in getting more than a few occasional jobs. Little is known of Braun's years of life in Stuttgart. When Braun returned to Kirchberg in 1965, where he also died in 1971, he had long since given up all artistic activity.
