LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) SÜDWESTER.
37 3/8x23 3/4 inches. Kunst im Druck, Munich.
Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; minor water stains in margins.
A true Hohlwein rarity in that it is so stylistically different than his other work, this design is suggestive of images designed by E. McKnight Kauffer. It is a rigid, symbolic representation for a studio that provided services to all branches of the art world in the difficult-to-define field of "stereocopie." The collage of symbolic images includes Athena's head, a star, a gear and a frame. Previously unrecorded.
