SIGNATURE ILLEGIBLE BONZEN UND HERRENKLUB MIT DEM JUDEN - MIT DEM SCHAFFENDEN VOLK ADOLF HITLER, LISTE 1. Circa 1932. 19 1/2x53 1/2 inches, 49 1/2x 136 cm. Neumeister, Bayreuth. Condition B+: repaired tears and restored losses at edges some affecting image and text; creases, abrasions, and overpainting in margins and image. Two-sheets. A rare, early German election poster featuring a literal horse race between the candidates, which is handily won by the National Socialist (Nazi) rider. The other horses representing the other political parties, ridden by "bigwigs, members of the men's club and Jews," lag far behind, burdened by the weight of their riders. The grandstands reflect the exuberance of the common-man at the victory and the frustration of the upper-classes at their loss.
