JERZY ALCHIMOWICZ (1907-1945) INTERNATIONALE VERKEHRS - UND TURISTIK AUSSTELLUNG. 1930.
34 3/4x23 inches, 88 1/4x58 1/2 cm. F.K. Ziolkowski, Poznan.
Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some affecting image; abrasions, restoration and minor restored losses along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired pin holes in top and bottom margins.
An exquisite, dynamic, Art Deco image for an "International Travel and Tourism Exhibition" in Poland. Regrettably, for an artist of such clear talent, this is Alchimowicz's only known poster. Oddly, in Polish the fair was referred to as "Communications and Tourism," and for some reason the name was changed for this German version. Affiche Art Deco p. 276 (var), Crouse p. 293.
