DESIGNER UNKNOWN KUNSTANSTALT HOLLERBAUM & SCHMIDT. Circa 1900. 34x24 3/4 inches, 86 1/2x63 cm. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition A / A-: minor creases in margins and image; horizontal fold. Paper. This unsigned work promoting Berlin's premier poster printing house bears a strong resemblance to the sinewy designs created by Henri van de Velde in the late 1890s to promote Tropon (see Le Design Graphique p. 10), as well as to Adolf Bohm's 1902 poster for the Vienna Secession.
