FRANZ VON STUCK (1863-1928) INTERNATIONALE HYGIENE AUSSTELLUNG DRESDEN. 1911. 35 1/2x23 1/2 inches, 90x58 1/2 cm. Leutert & Schneidewind, Dresden. Condition B+: creases and wrinkles in margins and image. A painter, architect and graphic designer, von Stuck was a founding member of the Munich Secession in 1893, and a cartoonist for the magazine Jugend. This image, which perhaps had its roots in Masonic imagery, was extremely popular and resonated throughout the German graphic landscape: it was stolen by a cigarette company, cartooned in Die Lustige Blatter and later, in 1930, was revamped by Billy Petzold for the same exhibition. This is the larger format. A smaller version was printed by Meisenbach Riffarth & Co., Berlin. DFP III 3221, Rademacher p. 90, Affiches Mirroir 45.
