D'APRÈS KARL FRIEDRICH "FRITZ" BOEHLE (1873-1916)
IN DEO GRATIA. 1915.
28¼x22½ inches, 71¾x57 cm. J. Maubach und Co., Frankfurt. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions at edges; minor foxing in margins. Paper.
"Boehle's work was strongly influenced by the old masters, Durer, Cranach, Schongauer, Mantegna and Donatello. This particular war loan poster draws heavily on a woodcut by Durer [St. George, 1508], reinforcing its request for money with an appeal to Germany's medieval religious traditions" (IWM 1 p. 16). It reads, "Thanks be to God. Givest thou a mite, be it ne'er so small, thou shalt be blessed by God." Darracott p. 52, IMW 1 p. 16.
