SCHUTZGEIST. 26 1/2x17 1/2 inches. Hollerbaum & Schmidt, Berlin. Condition B+: abrasion in bottom text; creases in image; wooden dowels affixed to top and bottom margins. A humorous advertisement for an early smoke detector, whose name literally translates into "Guardian Angel." A man in white pajamas and orange and black striped socks, surrounded by brown furniture, is getting ready for bed. The gas feed for his bedside lamp has come unattached, and we can only imagine that before he blows out his candle he is in for a little surprise. Luckily he has the Schutztgeist system on his wall; lettering in red.
