MAX ZECHBAUER. 1909. 49 1/2x36 1/4 inches. Graphia, Munich. Condition B+: restored losses, restoration and overpainting in top and bottom margins; vertical and horizontal folds. For this cigar and cigarette merchant, Hohlwein has rejected the clichéd visual motif of the "elegant man smoking". Instead, he takes a bold, dramatic approach and depicts Christopher Columbus holding one of his ships, symbolizing that by discovering America, Columbus enabled tobacco to be brought back to Europe. DFP III, 1355.
