LUDWIG HOHLWEIN EDINBURGH. Circa 1928.
40x50 inches. John Waddington, Leeds.
Condition B+: creases and minor repaired tears in margins; vertical fold.
The "Old City" of Edinburgh, with Edinburgh castle in the background. Considered a master of modern graphic design, Hohlwein "first studied as an architect, and this is reflected in his superb sense of layout and visual balance" (Railway p. 133). An exceedingly rare image, and one of only 3 posters Hohlwein designed for the British Rail companies.
