LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) GOLF IN DEUTSCHLAND. Circa 1930.
38 1/2x23 3/4 inches.
Condition A-: minor restoration in top corners; minor repaired tears in margins.
With a stylish young woman teeing off and a castle in the background, Hohlwein communicates the youth, history, fashion, sex appeal and sporting opportunities in Germany. One in a series of ads (by different artists) with the same text, they were clearly aimed towards the older, wealthier class of Americans for whom all of the above elements would have been very seductive.
