ERICH WASCHNECK (DATES UNKNOWN)

INTERNATIONAL BUILDING EXHIBITION. 1913.


35 3/4x24 1/2 inches, 91x62 cm. C.D. Naumann G.M.B.H., Leipzig.
Condition B+: minor repaired tears at edges; horizontal crease through upper image.

A simple and effective way to advertise a building exhibition. The designer, who may well have been an architect, employs a simplistic Object Poster technique, presenting a column against a dark background. A tribute to its success is that after being designed and issued in 1911 (in German), it was reissued for a subsequent exhibition in 1913 in both English and German. DFP-III 3351 (var. b).
