Multiples

Walker has only part of this work. Greisinger sold Walker only 34 postcards from Das Wirtscaftswerk Prinzip. The overall multiple includes a packet of peas, three boxes for the postcards, and a printed cardboard box into which everything fits. It is not clear how many postcards there are supposed to be in all; Walker bought 34, but there may have been 36 total. The edition number is supposed to be on the cardboard box, which Walker does not have. The cards are from three basic "series": PRINZIP 1 Wärme; PRINZIP 2 Mensch; PRINZIP 3 Produkt..1 - . 11 are from the Wärme "series".
