Otto Rohse founded his private press in Hamburg in 1962. Illustrated books as well as purely typographical prints have appeared at irregular intervals since then. Self-taught in the techniques of the wood cut, wood engraving and copper engraving, Rohse's development as a graphic artist can be easily traced through editions of his press.
