To promote this early automobile show Edel creates a dynamic layout, using the diagonal of the horizontal image to lend a sense of movement to the poster. In addition to the layout, Edel uses the color scheme to add drama to the image, in that the red head lights and text jump out from the overall dark and somber-colored background. An extremely rare image not referenced in Das Fruhe Plakat<>!
