EMIL ORLIK (1870-1932) POTOLOWSKY. 1897.
271/2x183/4 inches. Hollerbaum & Schmidt Kunstanstalt, Berlin.
Condition B+: creases, tears, and minor staining in margins. Paper.
What Orlik ended up producing, no doubt at the request of Potolowsky himself, defies modern-day interpretation. Each poster is inhabited by charming little pugs. At first glance one assumes they are some kind of company mascot, until the realization that the gloves are made out of dog skin. DFP III 2474, Wember 640.
