Edwin Wolfensberger (1873-1949) is the legendary lithographer whose high quality printing helped elevate Swiss poster art to a high level. In 1911 he settled on Zurich's Bederstrasse, where he located his printing plant, an exhibition hall, Kunstsalon Wolfsburg, and his private residence. Far less is known about Goller, except that he was based in Dresden, specialized in paintings on glass, and exhibited wood engravings.
