An avid hunter and great lover of the outdoors Hohlwein was commissioned to design posters by many tailors specializing in sporting clothes. In Berlin he worked for Hermann Hoffman, and in Munich his artwork advertised Hermann Scherrer, Johann Zahne and Isidor Bach. This poster is a wonderful graphic snapshot of three generations of an affluent family disembarking from a train getting ready to hike in the mountains. From their lederhosen to their loden coats and back packs they are outfitted in clothes from Isidor Bach. DFP-III 1423.
