Founded in 1905 by Hans Sachs (a dentist in Berlin), the Verein der Plakat Freunde (Association of Friends of the Poster) began publishing Das Plakat (The Poster) in 1910. The publication ran through 1922, and each issue is a gold mine of information (albeit in German) with many color reproductions and tipped-in illustrations. This group, which contains issues dedicated to film posters, Swiss posters and dance and music posters, includes April, October and November 1920, and January-June 1921.
