LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949)

HERBST IN WIESBADEN. Circa 1930.


33½x22½ inches, 85x57 cm. F. Bruckmann, Munich.
Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions in image and along vertical and horizontal folds.

Hohlwein designed several travel posters for German destinations based on the different seasons, but this one may have given him particular pleasure, as he was a Wiesbaden native. It has been suggested that Hohlwein used French tennis star Suzanne Lenglen as the inspiration for this image. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 300, Hohlwein / Munich 247, Tennis p. 90, Sportissimo p. 74.
