LEONHARD F. W. FRIES (1881-?) ALBERT ROSENHAIN. 1913.
26 1/4x36 1/2 inches, 67x92 1/2 cm. Hoflith. Robert Muller, Potsdam.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears at edges; creases in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds.
Over the course of an almost 30 year career, Fries is best remembered for the two posters he designed for PKZ. Although this early piece, advertising a luggage store, reflects the prevailing German Object-Poster style of the time, Fries breaks from the traditional mold and adds two little dogs to make the scene come alive. DFP-III 942.
