JULIUS KLINGER "DONAULAND". Circa 1914. 391/4x24 inches. Jos. Roller & Co., Wein. Condition B: vertical and horizontal folds; creases in image; repaired tears in margins. Mounted on old linen. In 1918, Klinger mover from Berlin, to Vienna where he stayed until 1929. It appears, however, that before he actually moved he was also working on commissions there. We can date this poster via Klinger's signature, which differed throughout his career. Advertising a magazine, Klinger has created a thoroughly modernist image, depicting a bird's-eye view of a white plane (probably a German Taube) flying over a bend in the Danube. The poster's message is clear: the Donau Magazine watches and sees everything in the region and uses the most advanced ways to gather information. The image, like the typography, is clear and synthetic. Previously unrecorded.
