LUDWIG HOHLWEIN (1874-1949) THE LAKE OF CONSTANCE. Circa 1935. 39 1/4x25 1/4 inches. Herm. Sonntag & Co., Munich. Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins. This is another example of Hohlwein's exploration of depth through the use of color as well as being another in the large number of travel posters he designed. Here for the Bodensee (the lake that lies between Germany, Austria and Switzerland), he depicts the giant statue of a lion that guards the harbor at Lindau, and uses seagulls and the distant mountains to convey the vastness of the body of water. He also uses a string of flags to denote the different nationalities represented around the lake. This is the English version. Not in Hohlwein.
