Hohlwein's output as an illustrator and advertiser was prodigious. His work appeared in all different formats and in all different styles of printing. This offset lithograph, features a well-balanced sportsman astride his horse. His riding boots and leather ball are gleaming thanks to the product being advertised: shoe polish. Not in Hohlwein.
