LUDWIG HOHLWEIN VOLKSSPENDE. 1918. 17x11 1/2 inches. (43 x 29 cnm.) Wusten, Frankfurt. Condition A: punch holes in top margin. A money-raising appeal call for the "People's Charity for German Prisoners of War and Civil Internees." Darracott refers to this as "One of Hohlwein's best known designs" (Darracott p. xix) and indeed, this "counterhero--brave, but now powerless" (Paret p. 91) must have been near irresistible in post-war Germany. This is the small, window-card size. Paret 130, Rawls 42, Darracott 20, IWM p. 34.
