FKD 4. FRANKFURTER INTERNATIONALE MESSE. 1921. 30x191/2 inches. Heller & Co., Frankfurt. Condition B+: repaired tears and restoration in margins. One of the oldest trade fairs in Europe, the Frankfurter Messe has been held since the 12th century when (in July of 1240) an imperial edict was passed by Emperor Frederick II, naming Frankfurt the world's first trade fair city. The allure of the fair is strongly indicated here as travelers from two recently arrived crowded trains are spilling onto the platform and rushing to get to the fairgrounds, represented by the logo floating in the air at the end of the platform. An extremely vivid illustration, effectively using perspective to add tremendous movement.
