Nordkap, in Norway, is the northernmost point of continental Europe. In 1913, another German artist designed a poster for this same cruise, in which he depicted a Laplander and his reindeer. Hohlwein, using the same subject matter, creates a much more dynamic and engaging image. He designed several posters for this prominent German shipping company. Hohlwein / Stuttgart 335, Hohlwein / Munich 250-14.
