A Linenbacked German Special Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 17" [30 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Nicht Spenden - Opfern (literally translates to "Don't Donate - Sacrifice"), the 1933 German poster encouraging people to give to Winterhilfswerk (Winter Aid), a Nazi party charity. Note that this poster features Ludwig Hohlwein art of a man donating coins with a swastika in the background. Ludwig Hohlwein was a German artist from the 1890s until his passing in 1949. He is one of the best known German poster artists (though his reputation suffered because of his work with the Nazis)! Initially an architect student who illustrated for newspapers, he went on to design book decorations, booklets, and advertising posters. He joined the Nazi Regime in 1933 after refusing an offer to emigrate to the United States, and this poster is a smaller "companion" poster to one of the first (perhaps even the first) posters that he designed for the Nazis called Winterhilfswerk Des Deutschen Volkes 1933-34, which gave them a "legitimacy" that they had not formerly had. Poster historian Alain Weill says "Hohlwein was the most prolific and brilliant German posterist of the 20th century. Beginning with his first efforts, Hohlwein found his style with disconcerting facility. It would vary little for the next forty years. The drawing was perfect from the start, nothing seemed alien to him, and in any case, nothing posed a problem for him. His figures are full of touches of color and a play of light and shade that brings them out of their background and gives them substance". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tears and small paper loss, slightly below the center, running across the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it was slightly roughly handled, and it acquired two creases in the middle right, in the solid black area, both in the poster and in the linen behind it.
