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 Suzanne Lenglen as the inspiration for this image. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 300, Hohlwein / Munich 247, Tennis p. 90, Sportissimo p. 74.
