About this artwork

This poster was designed by Ludwig Hohlwein in 1920 to advertise the Bergstadt Verlag in Breslau, the publishing house behind the periodical Die Bergstadt. It is a lithograph, and the original is a modest size of 23 by 31 centimetres. Hohlwein was a German poster artist who trained and worked as an architect in Munich before turning to poster design. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Sachplakat style, which gave a poster's message a plain, direct form. The work belongs to the lively German advertising poster tradition of the 1920s.

On your wall: Its period character suits a study, hallway or library, and it works well beside other vintage graphic design or in a room with a retro feel.

About Ludwig Hohlwein

Ludwig Hohlwein was a German poster artist who helped pioneer the Sachplakat style. He began his career as an architect, training and practising in Munich, before turning his attention to poster design. That move shaped the rest of his working life, and posters are what he is chiefly remembered for today.
