JOSEPH SATTLER (1867-1931) PAN. 1895. 13 1/2x11 inches. Albert Frisch, Berlin. Condition B+: restored tear through upper right corner; crease in image. In Germany there were three illustrated magazines at the heart of the graphic revolution which swept the country from the 1890s: Simplicissimus<> and Jugend<> in Munich and Pan<> in Berlin. The magazines were so influential that Sattler's image instantly became an icon (amongst other laurels, it became one of the only German posters reproduced in Les Maitres de l'Affiche<>). The poster was originally published in a small format (40x60 cm) to be put in bookstores and La Plume<> offered this extreme rarity for sale to collectors, as item #257 in its Album d'Affiches et Estampes<>, for 10 francs. As Pan<> was a magazine that was geared towards bibliophiles and art lovers, part of their service to their readers was to include supplemental lithographs (the most famous being Lautrec's bust portrait of Madame Lender). The copy we have here is the Pan supplement, a reproduction, smaller than the original, carefully printed under the artist's supervision. DFP III 2791, Maitres pl. 67.
