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 tears at edges; horizontal crease through top image.
A simple and effective way to advertise a building exhibition. The unknown designer, who may well have been an architect, employs a basic Object Poster technique and presents 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).
