Condition A-: minor tears and creases at edges; minor abrasions in image; paper stamp in lower left image; hinges on verso at top corners. Paper. This poster is a significant departure from Broders' signature style and marks one of the few times he attempts to embrace Machine Age graphics. "In this poster one can feel the influence of Cassandre" (Reclame p. 113), as Broders' depiction of the locomotive is quite similar to that of Cassandre's masterpiece Nord Express, which was printed in 1927.
