... that Julia Feininger helped Leona E. Prasse with a 1972 book later considered an improvement over a 1959 book she similarly helped Hans Hess with? Source: Hans Hess ... konnte sich bei der Erarbeitung dieses Buches auf die uneingeschränkte Unterstützung Julias verlassen. Sie bereitete bald auch eine Publikation von Auszügen aus den Briefen Leos an sie vor, die sie jedoch nicht mehr realisieren konnte./Hans Hess ... was able to rely on Julia’s unstinting support while preparing this book. She also began work on a publication of excerpts from the letters Leo had written to her, though she was ultimately unable to see the project through to completion. + [Prasse] compiled a definitive catalog of Feininger's graphic work, begun in collaboration with him before his death, and completed with the help of Feininger's widow. + Leona Prasse's Definitive Catalogue fully illustrates this aspect of his art. [this paragraph follows one describing Lyonel's printmaking career] ... Hans Hess' standard work on Feininger, written in 1959, devotes only a short paragraph to Feininger's graphics and fails to note their real significance.

I take, will review in the next few days.--Laun chba ller 11:41, 4 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

QPQs all check out. All four articles are new and long enough and mostly fine; not sure what 'specializes sources' is, and let's have some subsections in Julia's article. Earwigs are all fine. I'll check the hooks another time.--Laun chba ller 19:44, 6 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hook's fine, no other DYK issues, but please address the above anyway @Miraclepine:.--Laun chba ller 12:35, 7 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Launchballer: Both done. ミラP@Miraclepine 12:51, 7 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
