Not sure if you’ve seen this, there was an article about it in the Irish Times a few years ago:

Hi
My sister informed me about this website. Karl Uhlemann was my father’s brother. I’m an artist too so it’s in the genes I guess!! It’s great to see his work. He also did illustrations for school books and designed a number of Irish stamps.
Great to see his work and to see the interest in his work.
Thanks
Irene
