WALTER SCHNACKENBERG (1880-1961) [KOSTÜME / PLAKAT UND DEKORATIONEN.] Group of 5 posters. 1920.
Each approximately 11 1/8x8 3/8 inches, 28 1/4x21 1/4 cm. O. Consée, Munich.
Condition varies, generally A / A-: light toning overall; mat staining in margins. Each matted and framed. Unexamined out of frames.
An excellent compendium from the 1922, second edition of the book on Schnackenberg's posters, costumes and stage design. The plates in this book are more in keeping with the Maîtres de l'Affiche images, in that they were pulled by Oskar Consée (Schnackenberg's exclusive printer), and were surely done under the artist's supervision, with rich inking on high-quality paper. Group includes: Plakate; Bonbonnière; Anne Lamans; Deutsches Theater München; and Odeon Casino.
